Moroccan Police Bust International Bank Hacking Ring, Arrest 6 Suspects

Six individuals, including a woman, were arrested by elements of the national brigade of the judicial police for their alleged links to a criminal network active in the hacking of banking data, theft and attacks on automated data processing systems.
The modus operandi of this criminal gang is to send fraudulent messages to bank agency customers asking them to send their account statements to a fake site similar to the official website of a banking institution. Then, they only have to collect the data they use to illegally withdraw money.
The suspects were arrested during simultaneous operations carried out in Laâyoune, Casablanca and Agadir. According to the police, the operations were set up after computer forensics showed the network’s involvement in the hacking of bank accounts of customers with financial institutions. They carried out fraudulent bank transfers to dozens of accounts.
The searches carried out made it possible to seize a batch of computer equipment, mobile phones, and electronic devices submitted to digital expertise by the analysis laboratory of the national security. Pending the completion of the investigations which will have to determine all the criminal acts to the credit of this network, and identify any possible accomplices, the defendants were taken into custody.
