Kyiv Region Police Expose Hackers Who Infected Notaries’ Computers with Viruses and Changed Data in State Registries

As reported on dev.ua:

In the Kyiv region, police detained a group of hackers who gained remote access to the devices of state bailiffs and private notaries and, for a fee, illegally removed encumbrances imposed on citizens’ property.
