19-year-old Argentine Hacker arrested for stealing $50,000 monthly

Argentinian police have arrested a 19-year-old hacker who was making $50,000 a month. Police say it took them a year to close in on the teenager, who was part of a six-strong gang which planted viruses on a gaming site which infected the computers of website visitors. The hackers used malware to run a Botnet network of thousands of zombie computers, which were then used to illegally divert money from accounts leaving virtually no trace behind. Police seized electronic equipment, including cables, routers and over 14 hard drives.
