Jeremey Parker of Houston, Texas, 35, is charged with fraudulently obtaining more than $274K between December 2008 and October 2009 following an alleged hack against the network of SWReg Inc, a Digital River subsidiary.

The money was redirected to an account under is control, as mentioned in the indictment filed in Federal Court in Minnesota and unsealed on Tuesday (here)

A separate computer intrusion earlier this year obliged Digital River to obtain a court order against an individual who was allegedly planning to sell 200,000 records from a stolen database according to net security firm Sophos.
