Belarusian head of international criminal group stole money on Internet

Members of an international criminal group leaded by a Belarusian citizen have been detained. They specialized in stealing money from clients of Russian and Belarusian banking systems.

They created several web sites containing a virus. A certain code was transferred to the PCs of the site’s visitors. As a result they were controlled by a centralize server belonging to the hackers.

The confidential information they recovered allowed the criminals to steal money from Russian and Belarusian citizens by using virtual “exchange offices” or counterfeit plastic cards.
