hearing how 19-22 year olds are making millions of dollars on sim swap fraud..........with 5 minutes worth of work.......lots of kids in beverly hills....

only a handful got caught........many others made off with millions.......

He was smart enough to pull off the hack, but not smart enough to use a bitcoin tumbler....hope he doesn't drop the soap in jail.

I bet the feds looked at a lot of more than just the bitcoin addresses...

Pretty damn sure he ****ed up in other area's as well.....but if he had been smarter that money in bitcoin can be hidden. Several people who were running darkweb sites made off with Millions in "Exit Scams".

I am immune to the sim swap fraud by accident......I don't even have a phone line open. so no sim card to begin with...

my crypto account is attached in a special 2-fa way........

*tip of the hat for the social engineering side alone*


Dumb way to handle the BTC though kid.

Re: Nicholas Truglia sim swap fraud arrested
 
I think the method was target all the people who they suspect have a lot of money in cryptocurrency by making certain assumptions.....such as they are a ceo at crypto company or they attended a crypto conference......

they SE their info on the internet like their email and phone number......

then search what provider that phone number is from......

get a sim card from ebay with a burner.....

then call the mobile provider and attempt to swap sims......

then change everything and withdraw all the money and bypass 2-fa......

Theoretically though you would still need login info for whatever wallets are on the phone, right?

I'm guessing that's why he wasn't successful the other times he tried. Being able to pass 2FA is useless unless the username/pw are stored somewhere.

Regardless though I can see this leading to tightened security with phone companies/porting numbers.

I think when emotions run high when they see 1 million like that they get excited and start panicking and do whatever it takes to get the money out......they don't think about the consequences.......

Yeah, you're right. The dude got excited and his lack of experience with money laundering became obvious lol.

I definitely need to step my game up...these younger guys beneath me are so into technology more so than me........

they have shown me up on so many avenues......youtube channels making millions.....now through crypto........

they make it look like I live in some sort of cave in the stone age with video casette tapes.....

Stealing money.. where's the sense of self-satiafaction for working hard for what you've accomplished!

H4ck 12-14-2018 09:18 AM

Re: Nicholas Truglia sim swap fraud arrested
 
for me....self satisfaction is really hard to obtain.........it would take a good billion or so for me to be satisfied........

in order to be successful in life.

you have to first be extremely greedy.....and never be content and settle........if you want the best of what life has to offer.......and you will do anything to get it.....then you will take action........


its the ones that are content with their circumstances.......that settle and slack....

Making money legitimately vs illegal cons with possible jail time....i'd rather not have to keep looking behind my back while money comes in

If nick did this in his house, with a burner and left the phone on....the feds can use a phone tracking device called stingray and ping the phone and find out the coordinates of the cell phone tower in that vicinity.......but the bitcoin addresses probably gave it away.......he did not practice very high level of OPSEC..........

I know how to completely evade feds if the situation was like that.....

If I did something like that,

Would be......go buy a sim card at walmart with sunglasses and a hat and drive a moped or motorcycle parked by the nearest residential neighborhood with no cameras.

then get my separate laptop - VMware - use hotspot in the middle of a very deserted area.......

only turn on the phone in the deserted area. turn it off in the same area.

then move the money to BTC then have it go to the phone or computer then move all it to zcash.........monero is not as strong as zcash. then save all the private keys on a usb thumb drive, then throw away the phone and laptop and any other identifiable clothing or transportation.

so the only thing the feds have is a btc address on a burner ip address, phone coordinates in the middle of no where, and a picture of a person walking around walmart with a disguise on with a sim card paid in cash.

any flaws in my thinking?

the feds will check every camera down the street around walmart and at walmart.

then check for the data packets routing through the ip addresses and hack through the vpn and the proxy chain...that should lead to nothing at the end once they break through the entire line of security.
