Hackers were arrested in possession of a computer belonging to the Federal Bank Onephoto / Stock.adobe.com The Federal Police arrested in the act on Friday (12) a group of hackers preparing to divert billions from Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF).They would be responsible for two major attacks on the instant payment arrangement (formal name by which PIX is known).The unusual is that, after being tracked, eight of these virtual thieves were caught by hand in the dough: located in a house in Sao Paulo, with a CEF Furtado notebook, accredited for external access to the bank's VPN. The gang would have co -opted at least one bank employee, who allowed him to access the Caixa system, but the action was barred by the distrust of the manager, who warned the PF.The police then acted old -fashioned: two hackers waited to take an accredited CEF computer from the manager's hands that would have facilitated the blow.They were in a corolla and passed the machine to the occupants of a black spin.The group was followed by federal agents, who surprised the gang when it concentrated in a house in the Cidade Patriarch neighborhood, east of São Paulo. Eight were surprised inside the residence, with the computer on and connected to the CEF system.12 cell phones were seized, in addition to the notebook.Among the prisoners would be present 'doleiros', designated as responsible for the allocation of the values ​​to be subtracted, informs the PF.This was discovered with visualization of the messages exchanged by the group. PF's previous investigation points out that the plan was to divert from CEF not only money from the PI (interbank liquidation account, maintained by the Central Bank), but also resources available for retail service.This would reach funds from federal government and public budget programs. It would be the biggest blow to those held so far against the national banking system.The group is suspected of having already diverted R $ 1.2 billion in two attacks on ten financial institutions in the country. On June 30 there would have been surrounding R $ 800 million of eight banks, through the co-opting of a technology service provider hired by financial institutions to interconnect them to the Pix system. The second attack diverted R $ 710 million from another technology company that connects banks on August 29, but R $ 583 billion were recovered by the Central Bank via the shipping block. The PF concluded that the money diverted from banks was quickly transformed into cryptors and sent to wallets abroad after the funds were sprayed into thousands of fintech accounts, staff and oranges companies.Messages between hackers show this.This time, the virtual gangsmen led to the worst.
