Alleged Team PCP Hackers Arrested in Australia

Two individuals, identified as alleged hackers involved with the "Team PCP" group, have been arrested in Western Australia. Brian Krebs had reportedly been tracking these individuals for some time, with their identities being known to him and James Wilson prior to the arrests. The arrests followed challenges with international travel that had reportedly delayed law enforcement action.

Yes. For quite some time. It's been very difficult to uh to keep this a secret. But, uh, yeah, so Krebs and I have been in touch and we've been tracking this. It's been the identities have been known for a long time and we've just been waiting, waiting, waiting for law enforcement to move.
But eventually, uh these two individuals have been picked up for their alleged involvement with team PCP.
