A Russian hacker accused of helping pull off the biggest theft yet of consumer data from a U.S. financial institution has been extradited to the United States to face charges, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Russian national Andrei Tyurin was arrested by Georgian authorities to face charges he helped steal personal data of more than 80 million customers from JPMorgan Chase in a massive hacking scheme uncovered by federal prosecutors three years ago, according to the Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S.

Google also runs the biggest video site in YouTube, the most popular web browser in Chrome, the top email service in Gmail and the maps that most people use to get around.
Not bad for a company that started 20 years ago Friday with an initial investment of $100,000. Google and its sibling companies operating under the umbrella of Alphabet Inc. are now worth $800 billion.
Although Google wouldn’t comment for this story, the company has repeatedly pointed out that its mostly free products are so widely used because people like them.
Google’s success often draws comparisons with Microsoft.
By 1998, the year Google started, U.S. regulators had become so concerned about Microsoft’s power through its Windows operating system that they
