Hackers do untold damage to defence networks, banking operations, and the safe management of critical surveillance systems leading to the loss of considerable sums of money. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has a “most wanted” list of cyber hackers and, in 2015, the most wanted such hacker with a US $1 million price on his head is a Romanian national, Nicolae Popescu. He has been indicted for a host of crimes including: conspiracy to commit wire fraud; money laundering; passport fraud; and trafficking in counterfeit service marks.
