(CNN) Federal authorities on Friday announced the extradition of a Russian man who they say took part in an extensive computer-hacking campaign that included the largest theft of customer data from a US financial institution in history.

Andrei Tyurin, 35, who was extradited from the country of Georgia, faces several charges stemming from the scheme, which targeted American financial institutions, brokerage firms and financial news publishers, among other US companies, according to a statement from the Manhattan US attorney's office.

Tyurin allegedly hacked one financial institution in Manhattan and came away with the personal data of more than 80 million people, officials said.

In all, more than 100 million customers had their information stolen as part of the extensive hacking Tyurin is suspected of engaging in from about 2012 to 2015, officials said.

"As Americans increasingly turn to online banking, theft of online personal information can cause devastating effects on their financial well-being, sometimes taking years to recover," Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in a statement. "Today's extradition marks a significant milestone for law enforcement in the fight against cyber intrusions targeting our critical financial institutions."
