Interpol Nabs Three Nigerians Who Allegedly Scammed Companies In 150 Countries
Three Nigerians have been nabbed by the International Police Organisation for criminal activities.
They were nabbed by INTERPOL for alleged involvement in a cyber scam targeting governments and private firms in over 150 countries.
They were said to be part of a criminal organisation that allegedly compromised thousands of government and private companies across the world.
A statement published on the Interpol website on Wednesday said the arrest was carried out by a joint operation of the Interpol, a cybersecurity company, Group-IB, and the Nigeria Police Force, tagged ‘Operation Falcon.’
Explaining the suspects’ mode of operation, Interpol said the gang focused on mass email phishing campaigns distributing popular malware strains under the guise of purchasing orders, product inquiries, and even COVID-19 aid while impersonating legitimate companies.
The statement read, “The suspects are alleged to have developed phishing links, domains, and mass mailing campaigns in which they impersonated representatives of organisations.
“They, then, used these campaigns to disseminate 26 malware programmes, spyware, and remote access tools, including AgentTesla, Loki, Azorult, Spartan, and the nanocore and Remcos Remote Access Trojans.
“These programmes were used to infiltrate and monitor the systems of victim organisations and individuals, before launching scams and syphoning funds.
“According to Group-IB, the prolific gang is believed to have compromised government and private sector companies in more than 150 countries since 2017.”
Interpol’s cybercrime director, Craig Jones was quoted as saying that the public-private relationships are important in disrupting virtual crimes, stressing that “cooperation in investigation will upset well-established criminal business models.”
Based on the infrastructure that the attackers used and their techniques, Interpol disclosed that Group-IB was also able to establish that the gang was divided into subgroups with a number of individuals still at large.
“The findings on other suspected gang members, whom Group-IB was able to track down, have been shared with Interpol’s Cybercrime Directorate. The investigation continues,” it added.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is a corrupt commission.
The Governor who said this in an interview on Channels Television averred that the NDDC is the ”most corrupt commission” he has ever seen and also alleged they they cash cows for politicians.
Wike also recalled how he confronted the commission’s MD after the agency claimed a road project he awarded.

Josephine Okereke has asked House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila to ignore N500m demand made by her late husband’s family.
Recall that the newspaper vendor was shot and killed by a Department of State Services operatives attached to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The wife while disowning the N500m, demand from her husband’s family urged the Speaker to go ahead with his promise to give the children of the deceased man scholarship.
According to Punch, Josephine spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.
The family of Ifeanyichukwu Okereke had written to Gbajabiamila, demanding N500m.
Lawyer to the family, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), in a letter dated November 23, 2020, said he was given the mandate to write the letter by the father of the deceased, Okorie Okereke; and the younger brother to the deceased, Destiny Okereke.
The DSS had last week arrested the operative, Abdullahi Hassan, who shot Okereke while Gbajabiamila had also visited the family of the deceased and promised to ensure that they do not suffer.
However, the family demanded more, adding that nothing could bring the dead vendor back to life.
The widow, however, said she was not aware of the pre-litigation process, urging the Speaker to ignore the family and fulfil his promises to her and her two children.
