Hamza Bendelladj

Who is Hamza Bendelladj aka The Smiling Hacker? By vijay - 2 years ago Hamza Bendelladj : The Algerian hacker who is idolised by millions of Algerians If you have been following the SpyEye trojan indictment report earlier this month you would have probably heard of Hamza Bendelladj. You would be wondering why this hacker who has been sentenced to 15 years by a US court is so popular on social media and well as tech forums. Hamza Bendelladj is a version of modern day online Robin Hood and is hero worshipped in his home country Algeria. The Algerians and hackers from Middle-Eastern region view him as their idol whom they seek to emulate. Hamza reportedly used his SpyEye trojan to milk money from people from the west to give the same to Palestinian charities closer home. More so because somebody on social media spread the rumour that Hamza was handed over death sentence by the US court.
