OurWorldTalks: a blog on the interesting things around our world.

Have you wondered if it's possible for a brillant hacker, after commiting crimes costing millions around the world, is able to get a job from the police? I've always thought that it is possible and is happening around the world, but never publicity disclosed.

Today, Telepgraph (a UK newspaper) reports that New Zealand police may actually consider offering 18-year-old Owen Thor Walker, who goes by the online name 'Akill', after his role in a sophisticated operation by a worldwide group of criminals calling themselves the 'A-Team', linked to a global credit card scam worth millions of pounds!

Software he designed and sold to the criminal gang allowed members to steal user names and passwords, and ultimately credit card details... international investigators considered his programming to be 'amongst the most advanced' they had encountered... Outside the court, Walker, who is also being headhunted by several computer programming companies, said he would be very interested in putting his skills to use for the police.
