A Florida man identified as a member of the Scattered Spider cybercrime group pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years and ordered to pay roughly $13M in restitution after participating in a large SIM‑swapping and SMS/voice phishing campaign that targeted employees at over 130 companies (including Twilio, LastPass, DoorDash and others) to steal credentials, one‑time passcodes, proprietary data, and cryptocurrency; the report also notes related intrusions (including a hacked magistrate judge email) and connections to other SIM‑swapping groups such as Star Fraud.
