Cyber thieves

Eight men have been arrested over the alleged theft of 1.3 million pounds (US$2.1 million) by taking control of a Barclays branch computer system, British police said yesterday. The men are accused of stealing the money by using a hardware device attached to a computer at the bank’s Swiss Cottage branch in London after posing as engineers. Barclays Security reported a loss of the same amount in April. The arrests follow a similar incident earlier in September, when 12 members of a gang who had attempted to take control of the bank Santander UK’s computer systems were arrested, accused of trying to steal millions of pounds.
