On June 25, Joseph O'Connor, a British hacker who goes by the pseudonym PlugwalkJoe, was sentenced to five years in prison in the United States. His conviction stems from his involvement in a SIM swap attack targeting a prominent cryptocurrency exchange executive in April 2019, resulting in the theft of digital assets worth approximately $794,000.
Plugwalk Joe was originally arrested in Spain in July 2021 and extradited to the United States to stand trial on April 26, 2023. In a show of willingness to cooperate with authorities, he pleaded guilty in May of this year.
