Fazle Hasan Anik is an engineering student at a private university. He lives in Nengtadah village, Baraigram, Natore, and has a case filed against him at Mohammadpur police station.
Cyber Police Center (CPC) DIG S N Md Nazrul islam gave this information in a briefing held at the media center of the CID head office on Monday (October 28).
He said that the arrested hacker had hacked the Facebook ID of more than half a hundred victims for the last 2 years and had blackmailed them with sensitive pictures of more than 15 victims.
A victim reported to the CID Cyber Support Centre and multiple complaints were received from the Police Cyber Support for Women against the hacker. In response to these allegations, the CID Cyber Police Center is investigating the case to identify the hacker and the nature of the crime.
Nazrul Islam reported that last August, the victim clicked a suspicious link on Facebook Messenger without realizing it and logged in with his Facebook ID.password.
The hacker gained access to the victim’s Facebook account and collected personal photos and videos from Messenger. They then extorted money in cryptocurrency, threatening to share these private materials with the victim’s friends and family if the victim didn’t pay.
In response to a question, Nazrul islam said, Anik bear all the expenses of his girlfriend by hacking ID . He took it up as a profession.
To avoid police detection, he shopped at multiple stores without cash. After shopping, he asked victims to pay via Bkash or in cryptocurrency, withdrawing funds from his Binance account to remain untraceable.
Nazrul islam said, we tracked him using various technologies.
