Konstantin Simeonov Kavrakov- “king of the
hackers” as he is popularly called was arrested in a joint operation
between Interpol and local police officials in the Philippines.
A
Police spokesman said during a press conference that they nabbed the
suspect at the PS Bank branch at the corner of Scout Reyes Street in
Barangay Paligsahan, Q.C. He was trying to withdraw money using
counterfeit ATM cards around 9 p.m.

different denominations that the suspect withdrew from the bank’s ATM,
and assorted credit cards including a Citi Visa, Standard Chartered
