Abstract
- United Kingdom police officers arrested 19 individuals as part of a worldwide computer crime network which has allegedly stolen $9.5 mil (6 mil euros) from British bank accounts, including Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and HSBC Holdings PLC. The police suspect the network of having infected bank customer computers with a virus allowing them to capture log-in details, then using the log-ins to transfer funds into the crime network's accounts.
