Romanian hacker head hunted in jail
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.
The Italian press are a little concerned that software companies are lining up to hire the hacker when he gets out. It seems that trying to rob a bank was the best career move he ever made. µ

Best career move indeed. Maybe it is maybe its not a strange decision by software companies to make, but it makes sense to hire ex hackers to beef up security. Hope this dude all the best and a prosperous career.
According to BBC, Romanian gangs are biggest threat to unsuspecting & innocent UK bank ATM customers. Gmike hope you get done by this brillint dude. Even the oyster card and the UK & American machine readable passports can be easily cloned and fake pound notes printed to heart's delight. What one must realise is that this is Crime and the pain & agony such people cause to their victims. I personally feel such criminal minds should be tagged & banned for atleast 10 years as conviction from their crime and entering the uk. Crime should never be condoned or praised and Romania is sending very wrong signals and creating bad precedent for the EU member states.
Its not romania's fault.
He was in Italy, trying to steal from an Italian bank.
As far as I understood it was Italian companies trying to hire him....
