A fifteen-count indictment has been unsealed today by the U.S. Department of Justice charging six men part of a hacking group dubbed "The Community" for allegedly being behind a SIM swapping fraud which led to the theft of roughly $2,5M worth of cryptocurrency.

Three other individuals, who were the employees of mobile phone providers and suspected to have been part of the SIM swapping, have been charged in a criminal complaint with wire fraud linked to attacks operated by "The Community."
