Romanian Hacker Being 'Head Hunted' While in Jail

Nick Farrell writes on The Inquirer:

A Romanian hacker who stole cash from an Italian bank has become a star student at a local university and is being courted by several software security firms.

Gabriel Bogdan Ionescu is currently doing three years and one month's porridge in Bassone di Como for writing software to steal money from Poste Italiane's accounts.

Four months ago the 22-year-old enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano, and passed exams in computer science and mathematical analysis with top marks.
