Now, I want to share to all about recent news happen
US prosecutors described Lin Mun Poo, 32, as an “extremely sophisticated and dangerous computer hacker” in documents obtained from the US Justice Department.
Lin made world headlines for the wrong reasons — he managed to hack into high security cyber systems of major institutions in the US, including the Federal Reserve Bank and the Pentagon’s security contractors.
He was caught in a New York diner by the Secret Service on Oct 21 while allegedly selling stolen credit card numbers for US$1,000 (RM3,100). It was only hours after he had arrived in the city.
On Thursday, he was indicted by a grand jury on four charges, including for hacking into the central bank branch in Cleveland.
If convicted, Lin faces a jail sentence of between six-and-a-half years and eight years.
According to Malaysian authorities, Lin hails from Ipoh where he has a registered business address.
“He is highly professional and we believe he works with at least one accomplice,” a senior police official told Sunday Star.
