Poland, with FBI support, arrests four for SIM swapping attacks and cryptocurrency theft. According to information from the Polish Cybercrime Bureau (CBZC), Polish authorities have arrested four members of an organized crime group accused of carrying out SIM swapping attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges, stealing digital assets, and laundering the proceeds. The operation was supported by agents from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations. The suspects used specialized software and social engineering tactics to breach the IT infrastructure of entities cooperating with telecom operators, then executed SIM swapping attacks to hijack phone numbers and thereby gain control of cryptocurrency exchange accounts. The group allegedly laundered stolen funds through personal bank accounts in Poland and abroad, international payment platforms, and digital wallets, with the total amount laundered estimated at over tens of millions of Polish zloty. The four suspects face charges including participation in an organized criminal group, hacking theft, and money laundering, carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. #加密货币
