Alleged Cypriot Hacker Extradited to US to Face Charges

Joshua Polloso Epifaniou, 21, is accused of hacking into websites and stealing personal data to extort his victims. He allegedly demanded $90,000 from the company, threatening to publish the information if they didnt pay, authorities say. The case marks the first time that Cyprus has extradited a suspect to the U.S. to face charges under a 2006 treaty signed in 2006. Prosecutors allege he and co-conspirators targeted several websites to steal personal data between October 2014 and November 2016.”]
