Two suspected teenage hackers, both 15 at the time, are being investigated after allegedly stealing digital identities and sensitive data from people in Bari. Prosecutors for the Juvenile Office in Bari have been notified with an end-of-investigation notice, following an investigation by the postal police. The alleged offences include access to computer systems, possession and unlawful sharing of access codes, and the distribution of tools to damage computer systems. The accused are also suspected of intercepting communications, impersonation, fraud involving computers, and receiving stolen property. Investigators found programs on devices seized as part of the probe that were described as useful for getting hold of confidential digital information. This allegedly included Facebook accounts, phone numbers, email addresses, usernames and passwords, as well as credit card numbers and security codes. According to the allegations reported by ANSA, the pair also shared tutorials showing how to use a profile belonging to a law-enforcement figure to access a “news of crime” portal run by the Ministry of Justice. The seized materials also included manuals on cloning credit cards and on signing into the ministry portal using the name of a real carabinieri officer. A further set of alleged tutorial content contained detailed instructions on making homemade explosive devices. The investigation is at the stage of prosecutors notifying the suspects of the conclusion of the inquiry, with the case still proceeding through the legal process.
