Head of a very succesful hacker group has been apprehended and arrested in Spain. His organization is said to have stolen over 1 Billion Euros in the last few years. Yes, "billion," with a "B." Anyone taking bets how long he actually stays in jail? We should get an over/under in the works.
Steven Wilson, Head of Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), said: "This global operation is a significant success for international police cooperation against a top level cybercriminal organisation. The arrest of the key figure in this crime group illustrates that cybercriminals can no longer hide behind perceived international anonymity. This is another example where the close cooperation between law enforcement agencies on a worldwide scale and trusted private sector partners is having a major impact on top level cybercriminality."
