Accused of wire fraud, identity theft, and orchestrating SIM-swapping attacks, Urban’s story transcends individual transgression, painting a chilling portrait of interconnected criminal networks and the escalating dangers they pose. Prosecutors allege Urban, operating under aliases like “Sosa,” amassed a staggering $800,000 through unauthorized SIM swaps between 2022 and 2023.  This seemingly individual act unravels further, revealing Urban’s suspected involvement in notorious hacker groups like Oktapus and Scattered Spider.  These groups, responsible for a string of breaches at major tech companies like Twilio, LastPass, and DoorDash, employed sophisticated phishing tactics, leaving a trail of compromised data and financial losses.
