Deloitte employee masterminds global hack gang, finds Sunday Times

An employee of Deloitte’s India office has been found to be the mastermind of a computer hacking gang that targeted British businesses, government officials and journalists, a Sunday Times report said. Deloitte India did not respond to the query sent by Business Standard.

The hacking gang, according to the Sunday Times report, worked out of a fourth floor apartment in Gurugram under the name WhiteInt.

Arvind Jain, the Deloitte employee, had been running a network of computer hackers for the past seven years. They were hired by British private detectives to steal the email inboxes of their targets using “phishing” techniques.
