'the money was delivered but the police lost track of the culprits'
A solid showing by the Helsinki police
- theg2 12y agoIt's almost out of a movie. One of your larger national companies is being extorted and you fail to follow the people doing so? It also had to be a pretty big vulnerability for them to have to pay that much in the first place.
- ohashi 12y agoIt makes it sound like it was the keys to the castle.
- grrowl 12y agoIt was. They could have signed any phone application to pretend like it was developed by Nokia, and therefore could have done anything to the phones (hence the malware angle).
- walshemj 12y agoAnd at the time Nokia was a major part of the entire finish economy - sounds like gross incompetence on the finish authorities.
- iancarroll 12y agoYou can't exactly arrest them without one of their partners releasing the key. Following them might not end well either.
- gnur 12y agoI think blackmail would be enough to arrest them.

- kiiski 12y agoIt wasn't actually Helsinki police (this didn't even happen in Helsinki), but the National Bureau of Investigation (KRP).
- mushishi 12y agoWhere did you read that it had something to do with Helsinki police? At least the money exchange took place in Tampere.

- nl 12y agoA solid showing by the Helsinki police Or a very well planned getaway. Given that the culprits managed to steal Nokia's signing key, I suspect they knew what they were doing.
