Argentina arrests teen hacker who netted $50,000 a month
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-24089050

"Police in Argentina have arrested a 19 year-old man accused of heading a gang of hackers who targeted international money transfer and gambling websites.

Dubbed "the superhacker", the teenager was making $50,000 (£31,500) a month, working from his bedroom in Buenos Aires, police say.

The arrest operation shut down the power to the entire neighbourhood to prevent the deletion of sensitive data.

Police say it took them a year to close in on the teenager.

The young man lived with his father, a computer expert, in Buenos Aires.

"We think he and his brother had set up such a lucrative business that their parents chose not to ask what was going on," an investigator told the Argentine daily Clarin.

In the teenager's room, officials found high-capacity computers.

The hackers allegedly used malware attacks to build up a network of thousands of zombie computers, which were then used to illegally divert money from accounts leaving virtually no trace behind.

The police operation included five raids in the capital and the city of Rosario, about 300km (190 miles) north.

The young man is being accused of three crimes, and if convicted of all, could be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison."

Getting busted by 3rd world cops - not very smart.

It's more likely the entire story is fabricated and like he guessed the password to some asshole politicians hotmail account and embarrassed him.

Trust me...it doesn't take much to be called a "super hacker" in Argentina.

An iPad would pretty much do it!

Not every country is as fucked up as the US injustice system. They don't all charge you with 20 variations of the same crime as an attempt to force you into a plea bargin or better yet throw away the key.

Are you saying cops in Argentina are super dumb compared to cops in mighty US and A?
Also - Argentina is not third world, you ignorant tool.

£18m worth of hacking in UK gets you less than 2 years in a hotel like prison and released to continue where you left off.

Was thinking the same thing. At $50k per mth I hope he had a self contained power supply of some sort.

I do not think that matters if he is actually sent to a prison in Argentina. Fat nerdy white boy with man tits will be shown a good time in a South American prison.
