Detained a criminal network specializes in "CEO scam"

Eight people of different nationalities in Murcia have been arrested accused of carrying out the so-called "CEO scam", detecting fraudulent movements of capital over 12 million euros. These arrested used e-mail to contact employees of different companies, posing as the company's financial officer and in this way asked to make a transfer of money to a bank account that the supplanters chose.

In order to carry out this scam, detainees previously monitored possible victims through malware installed on company computers, and in this way they knew when to carry it out due to the absence of those responsible. In addition to the scam already discussed, the scammers carried out other types of cybercrime, such as the "Nigerian letter" scam, or phishing.
