China's Hackers Keep Targeting US Water and Electricity Supplies
An indictment from the US Department of Justice may have solved the mystery of how disgraced cryptocurrency exchange FTX lost over 400 million in crypto. The indictment, filed last week, alleges that three individuals used a SIM-swapping attack to steal hundreds of millions in virtual currency from an unnamed company. The timing and the amount stolen coincides with FTX's theft. Meanwhile, in a letter obtained by WIRED this week, seven lawmakers have demanded the DOJ stop funding biased and inaccurate predictive policing tools until the agency has a way to ensure law enforcement won't use them in a way that has a "discriminatory impact." In Florida, prosecutors say a 17-year-old named Alan Winston Filion is responsible for hundreds of swatting attacks around the United States.
