April 24, Fineko/abc.az Employees of the Main Department for Combating Organized Crime conducted a special operation against members of the international cybercrime network.

ABC.AZ was given such information at the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is reported that Bulgarian citizens found guilty of committing cybercrimes against the country's banking sector have been detained. Department’s employees detained Bulgarian citizens Stoychev Mariana Nikolova and Mladenova Vladislav Tsvetanov, who were found guilty of committing cyber crimes against the banking sector in the country.

"It has been established that these individuals, using special devices used in cybercrime, as well as microchips and other accessories, interfered with ATMs belonging to various banks on the territory of the capital. Members of the group, who arrived in our country in February or March of this year, tried to appropriate a large amount of money by interfering with ATM machines according to a pre-prepared plan. By placing special devices in the ATM card reader, they received information about the PIN codes of customers' cards and registered the cards," the report says.
