A Canadian citizen has been extradited to the United States on charges of orchestrating cyber attacks on university computer systems to steal login information and mine cryptocurrency without authorization, according to a statement from the US Department of Justice. Federal prosecutors said Ryan James Roach, 35, of Saskatchewan, and Mathiew James Stubbings, 41, of Ontario, targeted American educational institutions equipped with supercomputers in four states between 2016 and 2019. A federal grand jury in the Western District of New York indicted both men on charges including conspiracy to obtain and damage information from protected computers, obtaining such information unlawfully, and intentional damage to protected systems. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
