International cyber-crime gang busted

BBC World Service - BBC OS, International cyber-crime gang busted

An international cyber-crime gang has been dismantled.

Ten members of the GozNym cyber-crime network have been charged with conspiracy to steal online banking credentials from more than 40,000 victims. The gang stole an estimated 100 million US dollars by infecting computers with malware programmes. We get more details from our technology reporter.

And a US woman Eva Wiley talks about how she learnt that her mother’s fertility doctor was her biological father. He had mixed his own sperm with that of a donor. She is now lobbying for a change in law to make it illegal for fertility doctors to use their own sperm for artificial insemination.

In sports summary: Manchester City have been referred to financial investigators. If found guilty of breaking financial rules - they'll be banned from the Champions League for one season. And Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has been kicked out of the Italian Open tennis tournament after he threw a  chair onto the court and walked off.
