NY bank IT tech pleads guilty to data theft


A former IT staffer with the Bank of New York Mellon pleaded guilty Thursday to stealing sensitive information belonging to 2,000 bank employees and then using that data to steal more than US$1 million from charities.

Adeniyi Adeyemi, 27, had worked as a contract computer technician at the Bank's Manhattan headquarters, and the data he allegedly stole belonged primarily to co-workers in the bank's IT department.

He pleaded guilty to theft, money laundering and computer tampering charges in New York City Criminal Court
