Three Ukrainian nationals have been arrested in the theft of more than 15 million credit and debit card numbers from point-of-sale terminals at Chipotle Mexican Grill, Arby's and other retail and hospitality chains, US federal authorities said. 

The three men are high-ranking members of an international hacking group known as FIN7 that gathered the numbers collected from more than 6,500 terminals at more than 3,600 separate business locations since 2015, the US Justice Department alleges.
