Bulgarian authorities have arrested a 20-year-old government contractor in connection with a hack on the country’s national tax agency that involved information about roughly 5 million adults, prosecutors said Wednesday. Prosecutors described the suspect only as “KB,” though Bulgarian media quickly identified him only as Christian Boykov, or Kristian Boykov, a computer specialist from the city of Plovdiv. The Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office described the hacking suspect as a “cyber security expert” who is “involved in testing and auditing information systems,” according to a translation of their announcement. Boykov has been conducting cybersecurity training for the GDOC, a Bulgarian government agency, his lawyers told MediaPool.ng. The arrest is related to the data breach at the National Revenue Agency, which announced Monday that an outsider had compromised its systems, prosecutors said. A hacker had contacted local media outlets from a Russian email provider with databases containing millions of rows of Bulgarians’ personal […]

Various media reports suggested the leaked information included data on 5 million of Bulgaria’s roughly 7 million citizens.

Law enforcement officials from the U.S. and some European allies say they have broken up a criminal network that used banking malware to try to steal an estimated $100 million from over 41,000 victims in multiple countries. An indictment made public Thursday alleges that 10 members of a criminal organization used the GozNym malware, a banking trojan that infects internet browsers and was compiled from two other known pieces of malware, to steal victims’ login credentials, steal their money and then launder those funds through U.S. and foreign bank accounts. The primary victims were U.S. businesses and their supporting financial institutions, including several victims in the Western District of Pennsylvania, U.S. officials said. Other organizations hit were a Pennsylvania asphalt and paving business, a Washington law firm, a casino in Gulport, Mississippi, and a California furniture business, according to the indictment. Cybersecurity researchers tracking GozNym in recent years have reported its targeting of credit […]
