A suspected cyber criminal believed to have extorted companies under the name “DESORDEN Group” or “ALTDOS” has been arrested in Thailand for leaking the stolen data of over 90 organizations worldwide.
The suspect was arrested in Bangkok through a law enforcement operation by the Royal Thai Police and the Singapore Police Force, with the help of experts from Group-IB.
The cybercriminal, who operated since 2020 under multiple aliases such as ALTDOS, DESORDEN, GHOSTR, and 0mid16B, stole and leaked/sold over 13TB of personal data from the organizations.
He’s looking at seven years in jail for that. Thailand takes such crimes extremely seriously.
