A criminal organization consisting of three hackers was formally accused of breaking into the systems of government agencies and selling confidential data about Brazilians. The complaint, filed by prosecutor Fernando Rodrigo Garcia Felipe de São José do Rio Preto, was accepted on January 17. One of those involved will be prosecuted for possession of child pornography.
Investigation revealed that the suspects, residents of the states of São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso, operated in the interior of São Paulo with the help of two teenagers from Bady Bassitt.
The schedule consisted of sale of logins that gave access to the platforms of police institutions, with prices ranging from R$200 to R$1,000. According to the MPSP, transactions were carried out using cryptocurrencies.
