美国官员说，美国政府收押了一名俄罗斯公民，指控他盗窃和转卖数以十万计的个消费者信用卡号码。
这名嫌疑人是罗曼.瓦勒耶维奇.塞勒兹涅夫，现年30岁。星期一塞勒兹涅夫在关岛一家美国联邦法庭露面。法庭下令将他关押，等候7月22日再次聆讯。
美国司法部没有提供有关逮捕塞勒兹涅夫的任何细节。不过，当局说，他在2011年的一份秘密起诉书中受到指控。直到星期六塞勒兹涅夫在某个未披露的地点被抓之前，这份起诉书一直被封存。
起诉书指称，塞勒兹涅夫安装恶意软件，从各种零售商的电脑系统中盗窃信用卡号码，被盗商家包括美国西北部华盛顿州的餐馆和其它商家。
起诉书指控塞勒兹涅夫在2010年11月到2011年2月期间盗取了20多万个信用卡号码，并指控他及其同伙通过一个地下网站将其中的14万个号码转卖出去，从中获取大约200万美元的利润。
当局说，在电脑黑客圈，塞勒兹涅夫的绰号是“Track2”。
U.S. officials say a Russian national is in custody on charges linked to the theft and resale of tens of thousands of consumer credit card numbers.
The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Roman Valerevich Seleznev, appeared Monday in a U.S. court in Guam, where he was ordered held while awaiting another hearing July 22.
The U.S. Justice Department provided no details on the circumstances of Seleznev's arrest. But authorities say he was charged in a secret 2011 indictment that remained sealed until his capture Saturday at an undisclosed location.
That indictment alleges Seleznev installed malicious software to steal credit card numbers from an array of retail computer systems, including restaurants and other outlets in the northwestern U.S. state of Washington.
It accuses Seleznev of stealing more than 200,000 credit card numbers between November 2010 and February 2011. It also alleges he and his partners sold 140,000 of those numbers on underground websites, in a scheme that generated about $2 million in profits.
Authorities say Seleznev is known as "Track2" in the computer hacking world.
