GOTCHA: Nab a cyber criminal

摘要

In early Jan., criminal copyright charges were filed in the United States by the FBI and Department of Justice against the principals of MegaUpload. The U.S. authorities alleged ill-gotten profits by the P2P site in excess of $175 million and losses by copyright owners of $500 million. As MegaUpload is a Hong Kong entity with the core management team based out of New Zealand, including the founder and CEO, Kim Dotcom, who is currently under house arrest in New Zealand, this required legal cooperation among authorities in three nations, says Marcus Chung, COO of Malwarebytes.
