Polda Metro Jaya said the suspect MRGP (28) obtained bank customer data to be sold through the Dark Web breachforum.is forum by stealing.

Director of Special Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak said the suspect's theft was carried out when he worked at an online loan company or online gambling.

"At the time he was an employee there, both online loans and online gambling, he committed theft of customer data at that time accessing online loans or online gambling in Cambodia," said Ade Safri, Monday, August 14.

The suspect MRGP is known to have worked at an online loan company for 3 years or from 2017 to 2020.

Kemudian, tersangka berpidah pekerjaan ke perusahaan judi online di Cambodia pada 2021 hingga 2022.

"Furthermore, access was carried out by the suspect so that the pentagram account at that time could enter the brechforum.os which is the dark web used by the suspect for the sale of customer personal data including financial data," said Ade.

Meanwhile, data on bank customers sold by suspects on the darkweb includes identity, telephone number to financial data.

According to Ade, the suspect's motive for selling customer data was economic factors. In addition, from the results of the examination, the suspect was desperate to carry out the action because he was annoyed that he was fired from the loan company.
