In the city of Zwolle, located in the Netherlands, recently held a trial of a 26-year-old man, whose name was not disclosed. He is accused of committing a number of computer crimes, as well as illegal possession of weapons.
According to the indictment, the defendant's "computer crimes" are the development and use of a special application designed to carry out various digital offenses. So, using this application, the man sent phishing emails, hacked accounts, stole personal data and made purchases on behalf of others.
According to the investigation, between March 2022 and January 2024, the accused used his app to send phishing emails to more than 105,000 people. These emails contained links to fake websites encouraging victims to enter their credentials. All this information was collected and then used to gain unauthorized access to their accounts.
The defendant infiltrated victims ' emails and set up email rules and filters to hide notifications about financial transactions. He then made purchases on behalf of the victims and changed payment and delivery notifications. This allowed the hacker to order goods in other people's names and even receive them without being noticed.
Thefts were not limited to goods: the accused also hacked cryptocurrency wallets. He used phishing emails to gain access to victims ' cryptocurrency accounts, after which he transferred funds to his own accounts. The money received was used to pay for renting servers that hosted the hacker's malware.
In addition to cybercrime, the defendant was found guilty of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. During a search of his home, a Beretta firearm and ammunition were found.
As a result, the court found the man guilty on all charges, including manufacturing malware, stealing personal data and bitcoins, as well as illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. As a result, the criminal was sentenced to three years in prison, of which he will serve one year on probation. The court also ordered the man to pay compensation to the victims in the amount of 10,580 euros (over one million rubles).
Nowadays, the line between virtual and real is becoming increasingly blurred, and cybercrime, seemingly harmless manipulation of code, can have devastating consequences for the lives of real people. The case of a Dutch cybercriminal demonstrates that advanced technological literacy without an ethical compass can lead to serious problems and even broken lives.
