Two persons arrested for spying
on politicians, public administrations, professional studios and
businessmen had a database containing 18,327 usernames, 1,793 of
them accompanied by a password, and divided into 122 categories
tagged 'Nick' indicating the target category (politics,
business, etc.) or their initials, police said Tuesday. Police
said earlier they have smashed a cyber-espionage centre that for
years collected sensitive data on politicians, public
institutions and administrations, professional studios and top
entrepreneurs. The investigation, conducted by the postal
police, led to the arrest of two people - a nuclear engineer and
his sister. The arrested pair are residents of London but are
domiciled in Rome and are well known in the world of high
finance, sources said.
