Four Hacking Suspects Tied to Terrorist Group Arrested

Authorities in the Philippines teamed up with the FBI to arrest four reputed hackers they believe were working for a terrorist organization. Law enforcement officials believe the four suspects were employed by the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah. The hackers breached the phone systems of AT&T customers and made calls to expensive international premium-rate services, the FBI said. Less than one percent of the company’s customers were affected, and no accounts were breached, the company has said. The proceeds went to the terrorist organization, and the hackers were paid on a commission basis, officials said.
