📰 As Decrypt reports, a person convicted of SIM-swap fraud, who used the stolen cryptocurrency to buy gold dental jewelry and travel to Dubai, has been sentenced to prison.
A fraudster was jailed after using SIM-swap attacks — hijacking victims' phone numbers to bypass two-factor authentication — to steal cryptocurrency, then spending the proceeds on luxury goods. This signals that law enforcement is increasingly prosecuting crypto-related identity fraud, and that SIM-swap remains a real security vulnerability for anyone relying on SMS-based 2FA to protect digital asset accounts.
⚠️ Expect wider ranges while the market digests it.
