Date: June 12, 2004Source: Computer Crime Research Center
He has been working as a programmer for the bank for some time; has become a skilful but undisciplined programmer and was fired for that reason. Then the man decided to make good at the expense of the bank; he knew its computer network perfectly. He started transferring money into his credit card accounts. He stole relatively small sums regarding it would not be cleared up, regional police press service informed. However he was mistaken. When the scammer transferred 13 thousand of UAH (about $2,500) police tracked out and arrested him. Hacker allegedly embezzled 30 thousand UAH ($5,500) from the bank.
Curiously, this programmer in due time was friends with Maxim Kovalchuk, of Ternopol, detained in Thailand last year, being prosecuted in the US and rated by the FBI in the top 10 dangerous criminals.
