After the arrests, more charges were pressed on some of the suspects and one of them is not just a scammer.
Abaeze Atuche is a hacker and he had done something that no hacker had ever attempted to do before.
Atuche is alleged to have hacked the US government and gave all members of his family and 15 of his friends’ permanent American citizenship.
Currently, the American government is in a process of deporting all 33 people who got their citizenship as a result of Atuche’s hack.
