Guerrilla informatică
Robin Hood s-a întors să ia informaţiile bogaţilor şi să le dea săracilor. Un hacker din Letonia a spart bazele de date ale băncilor letoniene şi a început să publice informaţiile pe care le-a găsit acolo: cine a luat bonusuri din ajutorul de stat şi cât de mari. Autorităţile îl caută, publicul îl adoră.
Using the alias "Neo" - a reference to The Matrix films - the hacker claims he wants to expose those cashing in on the recession in Latvia.
He is slowly passing details of leading Latvian firms via Twitter to the TV station and has its audiences hooked.
The Latvian government and police are investigating the security breach.
Data leaked so far includes pay details of managers from a Latvian bank that received a bail-out.
It reveals that many did not take the salary cuts they promised.
Other data shows that state-owned companies secretly awarded bonuses while publicly asking the government for help.
'Cult status'
The anonymous hacker claims to be part of a group - called the Fourth Awakening People's Army - that downloaded more than seven million confidential tax documents from the State Revenue Service. He is thought to be based in Britain.
Over a three month period they downloaded the private data of up to 1,000 companies.
