August 10, 2023 Operation Birks
An urgent cybersecurity fraud case landed on the desk of AFP investigators; a syndicate was stealing money from Australian superannuation and share trading accounts. In a race against time to stop millions of dollars in theft, the team had to unravel a complex web of false accounts to find how the syndicate was exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Burner phones and a kebab order led them to a surprisingly young culprit.

A dedicated team put together literally a truck-load of evidence. In the wake of this, the six main players didn’t stand a chance in court.
