Cyber security expert Yavor Kolev with an exclusive comment about the hacker “Emil Külev”. We recall that on Saturday it became clear that he was detained for 72 hours and charged.
21-year-old Theodore Ill. has gained unregulated access to information systems of dozens of state institutions, commercial banks, insurance companies and other legal entities, copying and using the relevant data from the information arrays. The theft of information took place in the period March 2020 - January 2024.
„I know him, he acted alone. After the speculations that he hacked the database of the insurance company Lev Ins, he hid abroad and was out of Bulgaria for a long time. Now that he's back, our authorities have detained him. When you are in such a criminal business, you exchange a lot of experience and skills with your colleagues and partners. He has no special education. As far as I know, he is absolutely self-taught”, Yavor Kolev said specifically for NOVA.
