The police arrested twelve men in the context of what has been dubbed a "bold" plot to steal millions of pounds of a British bank taking remote control of a computer to a branch.
the group of men tried to target the Surrey Quays branch of Santander, in south London by having a member asks an engineer to fit a keyboard video mouse to a bank machine. The keyboard video mouse not working when it was installed on the computer, but if it was then the contents of the desktop computer could be downloaded with ease that would have allowed the theft of millions of pounds. The bank said it had worked closely with the police over the last three or four months after having been informed that he was a future target.
addresses in Hounslow, Brent, Hillingdon, Westminster, Richmond and Slough were all looking and assets were seized following the arrest of men suspected of plotting to fly on Thursday. The men are all aged between 23 and 50 and remain in custody.
The Metropolitan Police said the incident was the first time they saw a keyboard video mouse device used by an "organized criminal network. "Det. Insp. Mark Raymond described the assassination attempt as "a sophisticated plot that could have led to the loss of a very large amount of money from the bank, and is the most significant event of this kind we met.
You might not be able to do much to stop the criminal hacking gangs in the local branch of your bank, but fortunately it is much easier to protect personal information on your computer in using a VPN. A VPN service works by creating an additional layer of security to protect your computer while you surf the web, which means that all private data you saved should stay.
