Kolkata: The Bidhannagar Police's cyber cell arrested an employee of Wipro
after the tech MNC lodged a complaint against unknown persons stealing
sensitive data. This is the second arrest based on a specific complaint by
the firm.
The accused has been identified as Manish Ghosh, who was picked up from
his residence on Sunday . Police said Ghosh is an expert in software
coding. He kept a huge amount of data in compressed form in his mobile
phone and laptop. During interrogation of Azaruddin Ahmed, who was the
first person to be arrested in this case, police came to know that a few
former and present employees of the company were also involved in the
crime, which led to Ghosh's arrest.
Cops said the accused worked for Wipro BPO and was assigned to a British
company -Talk Talk -to complete their backend services. Every weekend, the
accused used data they got from Wipro to call up customers of Talk Talk.
They would tell the customer how their internet speed was being
"compromised" due to a virus. Once the customer gave their consent to know
why there was a problem, the accused used two softwares -Team Viewer and
Amiclient -to take control of their desktops. They would impress the need
to send them an engineer for services and then charge them $70 for the
visit. If the client asked them to add the bill to the existing monthly
bills, they said it was not possible as engineers needed to be outsourced.
