Group of hackers arrested in Rwanda

Rwandan authorities have arrested a hacking group composed of nationals from three East African countries while attempting to breach the systems of a bank.

The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) says the hackers planned to steal money from clients’ accounts in one of the banks, but did not say when the hacking attempt was staged.

The bureau said the hacking group was composed of eight Kenyans, three Rwandans and one Ugandan.

This group was arrested while in the process of hacking into the bank system to steal money from clients’ accounts.

The Rwanda Investigation Bureau said the group of hackers had previously managed to hack into the bank’s systems in Kenyan and Uganda.
