VADODARA: The cyber crime cell of city crime branch cracked a hacking case and arrested one person on Tuesday. The case involves two city-based outsourcing firms Office Beacon andZodiac Infotech that are competitors.
Tejas Mehta has been arrested for hacking the official email account of Office Beacon for professional gains. Mehta, who works withDesign 4U, sister concern of Zodiac Infotech, had earlier worked for Office Beacon.
Police said Mehta hacked into the email account of Office Beacon (OB)to get an order.
Mehta used to work for OB and had resigned from there in 2010 to join Design 4U. In December 2010, OB got information from its New York-based client that they have got an email from ID awalker@design4u.com. The mail had landed in OB's client's id soon after OB had sent it quotations for a deal. The quotations sent by awalker email id were less than OB's quotations. When OB official Chandrakant Thakkar checked their official id he realized that it had been hacked. OB officials then checked their company servers and dug out the IP address from where the second mail was sent.
It came to light that the email was sent from Zodiac Infotech. Investigations revealed that Mehta had hacked OB's email id from Zodiac Infotech and was using it to keep track of OB's deals and offers.
