On the heals of the topic for Wednesday which we recently posted for those who want to read it, we learn about 3 who recently got arrested in the United Kingdom for a similar ordeal in which we’ll be talking about.
Incidently, this particular article besides referencing the previous story, talked about Plugwalk Joe. We covered Plugwalk Joe in podcast 55 according to the search for him on the podcast and blog web site.
In the only other article from the search, we have this one titled PlugwalkJoe plugged people … 1 person at a time in different ways, now arrested which probably links to the Krebs article.
While these arrests are a good thing, the article I’m linking to from Krebs mention several others besides Mr. Allen who was mentioned in the previous article.
The article this time coming from Brian Krebs is titled Botched Crypto Mugging Lands Three U.K. Men in Jail and it was posted just recently, I believe today.
The second paragraph of this article states:
Shortly after 11 p.m. on September 6, a resident in the Spalding Common area in the district of Lincolnshire, U.K. phoned police to say three men were acting suspiciously, and had jumped a nearby fence.
While the target they were looking for wasn’t home, someone who was alert called Police and they were arrested shortly after.
I suggest you read this entire article, because it talks more than just this case, and opens your eyes in to what is really going on in this world today.
Its sickening to say the least, but we must be alert! We must know! And, we must pass the stories on because our sighted counterparts will need to know!
This community may not be targeted per say, but we just never know. Why take that chance? I urge all my readers to read this article in full so you understand what might be going on in your own neighborhood.
Thomas Green, 23, Rayhan Miah, 23, and Leonardo Sapiano, 24 were all charged with possession of the weapons, and “with intent to cause loss to another to make an unwarranted demand of Crypto Currency from a person.”
The article continues:
KrebsOnSecurity has learned that the defendants were in Spalding Common to pay a surprise visit to a 19-year-old hacker known by the handles “Discoli,” “Disco Dog,” and “Chinese.”
The peerson named above was apparently not home, says the article, and they were responsible for hacking and leaking a user database according to the article. Lots of linked material here so I give you a bit of a glimpse in to what it covers without giving much away. Just be aware of what is happening around you, its getting dangerous.
