Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R-Miss.) said that a man was sentenced to one count of trafficking in device-making equipment.
During the inquiry, Fitch stated that the Attorney General’s Office Cyber Fraud Task Force discovered five skimming devices at retailers throughout Central Mississippi. Investigators linked the uncovered data to over 1,600 stolen card numbers, the majority of which were Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) payment cards.
Authorities arrested Yerson Jose Salazar Amarista in connection with the case. Fitch stated that Amarista entered the country illegally and will be deported if released from prison.
