The FBI is searching for Joshua Aaron, one of the people charged in a massive financial data hacking case, according to a wanted poster released by the organization.

The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, charged Aaron and two others in connection to "the largest theft of customer data from a U.S. financial institution in history."

They were charged in a 23-count indictment related to the computer hacking of several financial institutions and financial news publishers, including a 2014 JPMorgan data breach.

They are accused of stealing the personal information of over 100 million customers, according to the indictment.

Aaron and Anthony Murgio, who is accused in a separate indictment of conspiracy, were previously linked to a cyberattack on JPMorgan. 

Aaron and Murgio were fraternity brothers at Florida State University. Aaron dropped out of college in 2005 and moved to Miami.

He later moved to Israel and in 2011 got involved with a stock fraud scheme with an Israeli friend. In 2014, he married a tax lawyer.

Aaron and Murgio also met up in Russia. And, according to an FBI memo cited by Bloomberg, Aaron had logged in to servers associated with the JPMorgan breach.
