OK, so it didn’t go down quite like that.
German police announced today that they have busted a hacker ring from the Hamburg area.
From The Local, Germany:
Bavarian authorities have broken up a hacker ring based around a 33,000-member internet forum called ‘hacksector,’ police announced on Tuesday.
Eleven suspects ranging in age from 15 to 22 years old have been taken into custody, along with more than 20 laptop computers, Augsburg police spokesman Manfred Gottschalk told The Local. Seven of the suspects are younger than 18 years old.
“We are at the beginning of our investigation,” Gottschalk said.
It seems that the group is accused of carding, ID theft and various hacking offenses. I wonder if the recent anti-hacking laws will be applied in the case.
