BTCCSquare news:

Polish cybercrime investigators, collaborating with U.S. federal agencies, dismantled a sophisticated criminal network targeting cryptocurrency investors through SIM swap attacks. The operation froze millions in illicit proceeds siphoned from exchange accounts.

Authorities allege the group compromised telecom employee credentials to hijack phone numbers, bypassing two-factor authentication on trading platforms. Forensic accountants trace at least $15 million in laundered funds through blockchain wallets and traditional bank accounts.
