We begin with what a United States federal prosecutor has called "securities fraud on cyber-steroids". Three men have been charged in relation to what's said to be the largest cyber-attack on financial firms in US history. Preet Bharara is US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
"In our view, the conduct alleged in this case showcases a brave new world of hacking for profit. It is no longer hacking merely for a quick payout. Rather it is hacking in support of a diversified criminal conglomerate. It is hacking to locate victims. It is hacking to spy on a competition. It is hacking to maximise profit. In short, it is hacking as a business model."
We heard more from our correspondent James Cook.
"According to prosecutors, they say that the man behind this conspiracy Gery Shalon who's 31 years old, founded and led what they are calling a 'sprawling cyber criminal enterprise' and the scope and the scale of it is really something according to the indictment which suggests that it extended to having hundreds of employees and more than a dozen countries that targeted, at least a dozen major companies as well." |
