A Russian hacker who says he is living in New Zealand attempted to sell the
login details of millions of Facebook users - an unprecedented attack on the
world's biggest social networking site.
Detectives from the National Cyber Crime Centre are investigating whether the
hacker Kirllos is using New Zealand as a base to commit internet fraud.
Kirllos is offering the user names and passwords of 1.5 million Facebook
users for between $35 and $62.70 per 1000 accounts sold on an underground hacker
forum.
