"""Hacker""" Gets 18 Months in U.K. Prison

Mai bine spus "Looser". Bun, am mai scapat de un hot. La puscarie cu toti cei ca el, la munca nu la intins mana.

A Scottish man was sentenced today to 18 months in prison for spamming out e-mails laced with malware and stealing data.

A 33-year-old Scottish man was sentenced today to 18 months in prison in the U.K. for spamming out malware-infected e-mails and stealing data.

The sentencing today of Matthew Anderson of Drummuir, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, brought to an end to an investigation first launched four years ago. According to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), Anderson was part of a ring that targeted hundreds of businesses in the U.K. with malware starting in 2005. The conspiracy was operated by members of a cyber-crew called m00p that spammed out millions of e-mails laced with malware, authorities said.

It was Anderson's job to manage the operation by composing the e-mails and distributing them with virus attachments, police said. The malware allowed Anderson to access private data stored on computers without the knowledge of the computer's owner, according to police.

"This organized online criminal network infected huge numbers of computers around the world, especially targeting U.K. businesses and individuals," said Detective Constable Bob Burls, from the MPS Central e-Crime Unit, in a statement. "Matthew Anderson methodically exploited computer users not only for his own financial gain but also violating their privacy. They used sophisticated computer code to commit their crimes."

The investigation resulted in the arrests of three men—including Anderson—on June 27, 2006. No charges were filed against one of the men, while the other pleaded guilty in 2008, according to reports. According to police, a number of computers were seized at residential addresses in both countries in addition to the suspects' servers as part of the investigation.

When online, Anderson used the profile names of "aobuluz" and "warpigs," authorities said, and operated his illegal business behind the front of an online company called Optom Security that offered security software.

Among the evidence police found were screenshots on Anderson's computers taken from other people's Webcams as well as copies of wills, medial reports, password lists and other content, police said.

"The Internet means criminals have increased opportunities to commit crime internationally; however, I'd like to reassure the public that the international law enforcement and antivirus companies' response is increasingly sophisticated," Burls said. "As this case shows, criminals can't hide online and are being held to account for their actions. A complex investigation like this demonstrates what international cooperation can achieve."

Probabil trimiti si tu 20 de mailuri cu istealer sa furi niste parole de messenger...

Nu te speria, pe tine nu o sa te bage nimeni in seama.

Da, daca cineva iti fura portofelul vrei sa intre la puscarie, daca cineva iti fura banii din cont de ce sa nu intre la puscarie? De fapt voi ati merita sa infundati puscariile, macar cei ce fura portofele "muncesc" sa le aiba, voi luati 2 programe care nu stiti ce fac si gata, sunteti hackeri cu bani.

La cateva sute de euro nu se uita nimeni, daca ai fi baiat destept si ai face mai mult acum as posta o stire despre tine, dar sunt sigur ca nu o sa fie cazul.

Off topic: Slymy esti un nimic

On topic: E logic, ca te-ai enerva daca ti-ar fura cineva portofelul. Si asta cu spam-u e prostia alora, daca ar avea PUTINA MINTE, sa isi dea seama ca BANCILE NU TRIMIT MAIL SA ISI BAGE DATELE.. dar nah, exista oameni prosti cat cuprinde.

Probabil ca in lumea asta exista si oameni prea ocupati sa produca painea pe care o mananci si din lipsa de timp nu stau sa se mai informeze de alte detalii precum felul in care lucreaza bancile. De aia bancile ar trebui sa ia toate masurile necesare incat omul de rand sa nu fie fraudat. Oricat de mult ar incerca, nu reusesc.
