Bengaluru Police Nabs Cybercrime Mastermind Wanted For Hacking...,

Bengaluru Police has nabbed a man believed to be the mastermind behind a spate of cybercrimes, including hacking of private as well as government websites and Bitcoin trade on the dark web.
Bengaluru Police is heaving a sigh of relief after apprehending an alleged mastermind behind several cybercrimes over the last three years. The accused, Sri Krishna aka Srikky, was arrested on November 17 in a drug-related case.

According to the police, Srikky is a big catch as he was wanted in a wide range of cases, including hacking gaming and government websites, dealing in Bitcoins on the dark web, buying drugs from abroad, as well as physical assault.

The Central Crime Branch (CCB) now hopes that investigation into the drugs case can lead to evidence related to other crimes he is accused of.

Speaking to India Today TV on Wednesday, Police Commissioner Kamal Pant said, "The CCB Police has arrested one accused who is known for hacking poker game websites and also dealing with Bitcoins. We arrested him yesterday and we are now investigating all his illegal activities."
Sri Krishna is a 25-year-old software programmer. A resident of Jayanagar in Bengaluru, Srikky completed his schooling in the city and then went to Amsterdam in 2014 to pursue further education in computer science.

Armed with the knowledge of programming, he arrived back in Bengaluru in 2017 and began his career in hacking websites. Srikky had a few accomplices and friends who helped him in criminal endeavors.

Srikky would purchase drugs from the dark web using Bitcoins and then would have them delivered to Chamarajapet Foreign Postal Office. Then he or one of his accomplices would collect the consignment from the post office. They would sometimes sell these drugs and at other times consume them.

He would also hack poker websites, steal vital data and then blackmail the owners to pay him whatever he wanted.

“He [Srikky] has been active in the Bitcoin trade. Recently, he was also involved in a case that was registered at the KG Nagar police station in South Bengaluru limits. He was the person who provided Bitcoins for purchasing drugs through Darknet and we are investigating his activities,” Commissioner Pant said.
