"We allege that this group of cyber criminals perpetrated a sophisticated scheme to steal intellectual property and proprietary information worth tens of millions of dollars and steal personal information belonging to hundreds of thousands of individuals," said US attorney Martin Estrada.
"As this case shows, phishing and hacking has become increasingly sophisticated and can result in enormous losses. If something about the text or email you received or website you're viewing seems off, it probably is."
Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, added: "The depth of this operation showcases not just the skills of these individuals but also the significant challenges faced by law enforcement in combating cyber crime."
