Prosecutors say Gonzales, who is also known online as "soupnazi," also targeted Heartland Payment Systems, a New Jersey-based card payment processor. Gonzales is awaiting trial in New York for allegedly helping hack the computer network of the national restaurant chain Dave and Buster's.
The indictment also charges that Gonzales and his co-conspirators used sophisticated hacker techniques to cover their tracks and avoid detection.
Last year, the Justice Department announced additional charges against Gonzales and others for hacking retail companies' computers for the theft of approximately 40 million credit cards.
At the time, that was believed to be the biggest single case of hacking private computer networks to steal credit card data.
