They hacked into thousands of computers by using malware and then could steal money from people's online bank accounts. These attacks used a Zbot trojan called ZeuS,( it is a malware that is recently used to attack business social networking site too.)
It was not the first time people have been arrested for using the ZeuS trojan to steal money!
In November of 2009 a couple from Manchester were arrested for the same crime too. It shows that how dangerous the malware is and how many hackers are currently using it for their evil schemes!

ReplyDeletein my opinion this case includes section 3 and 4 of computer crime act 1997; unathourize access, also facilitating further offences ans stealing money!
ReplyDeletefurthermore dependes on the exact condition and situation of the crime maybe it includes section 7 too, due to the number of criminals that included 19 persons and the crime that had been occourd by the aim of some of this group members.
