Ukrainian cyberpolice have arrested a group of phishing actors who managed to steal payment card data from at least 70,000 people after luring them to fake mobile service top up sites. The actors used the stolen information to empty their victims’ bank accounts. The phishing operation was supported by 40 fake websites, all hosted on the group’s own infrastructure. The arrested individuals now face criminal charges under Part 2 of Art. 361 (Unauthorized interference in the work of computers, automated systems, computer networks or telecommunications networks) and Part 3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.”]
