[snip] Police in the Turkish city of Izmir have arrested 17 members of a gang who allegedly hacked into internet banking accounts and stole $300,000 (£154,000) from online users. The men are accused of collaborating with three Russian cyber criminals, who are believed to have provided them with the banking usernames and passwords stolen from the computers they infected with spyware, Turkish authorities claim. The Russian hackers allegedly sold the banking login details of thousands of Turkish online customers for ten per cent of the money stolen by the gang, according to police. The authorities closed in on the group after hundreds of people started to complain about suspicious withdrawals from their online bank accounts in January.
