The accused, who did BTech in computer science, were charged with hacking into an e-commerce website that specializes in mobile recharge. Cops said four members of the gang with pan-India operations were at large. The hackers have cheated a Delhi-based company of more than Rs 50 lakh, police said. The accused, Sumit Gupta (24) and Ankit Singh (22), are from Moradabad in UP, and are considered one of the "most sophisticated hackers in the country". They were arrested from Noida and booked under Sections 420 of the IPC and 66C of the IT Act, 2008. "We received a complaint from the head of recharge of Memory Electronics Pvt Ltd about the website being hacked," said Triveni Singh, DSP (cyber crime cell) GB Nagar. The IP address used by the hackers was located in Sector 62 of Noida. Cops then zeroed in on the duo, allegedly involved in scores of hacking cases. To siphon off the money, the hackers would bypass the cc avenue payment gateway, cops said. "After hacking into the server, the accused obtained administrative rights of the website. when users asked for recharge of their cellphones, DTH cards, net cards, etc, the hackers would just key in the cell number and the amount to be topped up. However, no bill would be generated as the hackers had bypassed the payment page," Triveni said. [...]Received on Tue Sep 04 2012 - 03:20:48 PDT
