    Interview with Petra Haandrikman, team leader of the Dutch police unit that infiltrated Hansa.

    K: So you made a copy of the Hansa servers?

    H: We gained physical access to the machines in Lithuania, and were able to set up some clustering between the [Hansa] database servers in Lithuania and servers we were running in our country. With that, we were able to get a real time copy of the Hansa database, and then copy over the Web site code itself.
