eCrimeBytes S 1, Ep 7: Swatting Payback in Maryland
From 2017 to 2020 a group of attackers took control of several victims’ phones via SIM swapping to steal cryptocurrency and social media accounts. It looked like they were going to get away with it until a swatting incident over a deal gone bad broke the case wide open. Sit back and enjoy this week’s episode of eCrimeBytes.
