NYPD Cop Arrested for Hacking the FBI, Traffic Databases in Elaborate Scam

A New York City Police Department (NYPD) inspector has been arrested and charged with hacking into a restricted NYPD computer and other sensitive law enforcement databases, including at the FBI, in an effort to run a scam targeting traffic accident victims.
 
According to the complaint, Yehuda Katz, an auxiliary deputy inspector with New York’s finest, surreptitiously installed multiple electronic devices in the Traffic Safety Office of the NYPD’s 70th Precinct, which allowed him to remotely access restricted NYPD computers and law enforcement databases, including one maintained by the FBI.
 
One of the electronic devices installed by the defendant contained a hidden camera that captured a live image of the Traffic Safety Office and was capable of live-streaming that image over the internet. The second electronic device was connected to one of the computers in the Traffic Safety Office and allowed the computer to be accessed and controlled remotely.
The purpose for all of the sneaky feeds was that Katz was allegedly looking to commit financial fraud by preying on those looking to sue for personal injury after traffic accidents.
