The Malaysian police arrested Ardit Ferizi, a citizen of Kosovo, on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by the authorities of USA. The US suspects him as the main person behind the data leaks from ISIS.
Earlier in August, the Islamic State Hacking Division (also known as Cyber Caliphate) has published personal information 1.351 US military as well as government staff, along with encouragement to members of their team to seek out these people and kill them.
The US, after a brief survey, killed the head of Hacking Division, Junaid Hussain, in an attack on an unmanned aircraft at the end of August.
Although the leader of his cyber-army ISIS he was killed, many security experts were not convinced that Hussain was the culprit behind the data breach, by the fact that he had few technical skills to carry out such an elaborate assault.
Now, according to more details contained in Ferizi's arrest warrant, US authorities suspect Feziri as the real cause of theenergy of cyber-attack.
The U.S. claims Ferizi hacked into the U.S. retail business database, stealing personal data from more than 100.000 people.
He then combined the data, and from them he made a list of those working in the army and the government and forwarded them to a number of ISIS propagandists.
To do this, use @thedirectory Twitter, in which he maintains constant contact with many ISIS accounts.
Ferizi was arrested while trying to travel back home to Kosovo, Kuala Lumpur airport, 15 September. He had gone there in August of 2014 for computer studies.
Ο Ferizi δεν είναι τυχαίος. Έχει ιστορία στο hacking, καθώς έχει κατηγορηθεί για πειρατεία σε ένα τοπικό ειδησεογραφικό portal στην age of 15.
