An 18-month-long probe resulted in raids in several German cities and the arrests of 10 Russians, Ukrainians and Germans who police think were involved in "phishing" -- or tricking people into revealing personal or financial details.
The group targeted bank customers who received emails purportedly from organizations like eBay Inc and Deutsche Telekom, said the office.
Attached to the emails was so-called Trojan horse software which records data entered in computers.

Just so there is no misunderstanding with these criminals there should be a meaningful jail term for conviction. No less than 20 years and no more than 25 years to be served in something like an old Soviet gulag. Or look to the muslims, chop off the offending hands.
