Fraudsters convicted over fake job adverts
The National Crime Agency and the Metropolitan Police Service has convicted the UK’s first home-grown financial malware writer of fraud after an investigation into fake job adverts.
Tyrone Ellis, age 27, was a part of a south London-based criminal network of six, which used malware to record keystrokes of people who applied to bogus job adverts. The gang then used the personal information collected from the keystrokes to steal money from people’s bank accounts.
