Bloke allegedly stole, sold private info belonging to 'tens of millions' globally
A man suspected of stealing personal data belonging to tens of millions of people worldwide and selling that info on cybercrime forums has been arrested by Dutch police.
The alleged crook pulled together information including names, genders, addresses, and birth dates belonging to pretty much everyone in Austria, it is claimed. He also obtained records on some people in Britain, China, Colombia, Thailand, and the Netherlands, it is alleged, and then sold these massive datasets to other criminals online, we're told. The cops believe this data was"stolen" from all over the globe.
Although the arrest happened in November in Amsterdam, and at least some of the data was said to have been sold as far back as May 2020, the detention wasn't made public until this week due to ongoing international investigations.
