Moroccan authorities on Tuesday evening arrested five suspects allegedly linked to an international cybercriminal network that is active in hacking systems and digital privacy data.

The suspects are aged between 28 and 32, and were involved in the exploitation of equipment and information systems.

Local authorities in Agadir said they were hacking national communication networks in order to earn revenues.

The suspects were arrested separately, after the seizure of 6,269 card SIMs belonging to national telephone operators, 3 laptops, and a set of mobile phones, in addition to electronic devices and supports for storing information data, and a sum of money.

The arrested suspects were kept under the custody of the Public Prosecution in charge of cyber criminality cases pending investigations.
