Nearly a hundred police officers from special troops entered in suspects houses in some major cities in the country: Timisoara, Lugoj, Caransebes, Hunedoara and Pitesti. Investigators say that internet pirates have put their hands on about 350,000 euros.

The operation started at the same time: 6:00 AM (local time) in all cities so that suspects do not announce to each other. Investigators confiscated computers, CD-s, laptops and electronic devices that the hackers used to break even secure servers of NASA. FBI has been involved in the case also.

In the broadest sense, a fraud is a deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and is also a civil law violation. Many hoaxes are fraudulent, although those not made for personal gain are not technically frauds. Defrauding people of money is presumably the most common type of fraud, but there have also been many fraudulent “discoveries” in art, archaeology, and science.
