Ukrainian Police Arrest 6 Hackers Linked to DDoS and Financial Attacks

Ukrainian Police arrest two groups of hackers involved in carrying out DDoS attacks against news agencies and stealing money from Ukrainian citizens. Four suspected hackers were arrested last week, all aged from 26 to 30 years. Police say they stole more than 5 million Hryvnia (around 178,380 USD) from the bank accounts of Ukrainian citizens by hacking into their computers. The suspects carried out their attacks by scanning vulnerable computers on the Internet and infecting them with a custom Trojan malware to take full control of the systems.
