Remember the h*cker Phineas Fisher? back in 2015, the h*cker made headlines when he hacked the Hacking Team - an Italian based company that focuses on selling spyware software to law enforcement agencies worldwide - and exposed over 500 gigabytes of internal data online but news report coming in says that the Spanish authorities have him in custody.

Phineas Fisher has been accused of not just hacking the hacking team alone but also hacking another secrete company, Gamma international a UK based based company that also specializes in spywares. Gamma sells their own spyware called FinFisher to law enforcement agencies too.
The hacker finally got the attention he wanted when he launched a cyber attack against the Sindicat De Mossos d'Esquadra (SME), hacking and dumping personal information of over 5,500 Police officers online.
According to local reports, the Police in Spain have arrested three people, one of which is suspected to be Fisher has been detained in Salamanca. He also posted the video on how he performed the hack.

However, the story took another twist when someone claiming to be Phineas Fisher said in a mail (Phineas Fisher's mail) that he (Fisher) was not in prison or custody.
"I think the Mossos just arrested some people that retweeted the link to their personal info, or maybe just arrested some activisty/anarchisty people to pretend they are doing something," the mail shared with Motherboard read.
