The Cyber cell found out that the four arrested for hacking RTO software and issuing illegal licenses had committed a similar crime nine months ago.
As per Cyber cell officials, in March 2018, the accused installed the keylogger on the assistant RTO's computer, stole his ID and password, and got access to Sarthi software. They would enter new data in the RTO's records from Jamnagar and then apply for a duplicate license.
Rajdeep Zala, DCP of Cyber cell said, "The accused had access to the RTO software for nine months. They must have issued thousands of licenses to applicants. We are yet to get a number but we suspect it will be huge going by how they made 120 new entries in just two days."
The accused got caught only after they made new entries on a non-working day. It was also revealed that the accused added new data when the software didn't ask for one time password.
"We suspect other RTOs in the state may also have been hacked. Five teams will analyse the 50 affected computers in the Vastral RTO," Zala added.
