According to Bitdefender, Poland's Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime (CBZC) has arrested four suspects allegedly involved in SIM swap cryptocurrency theft and money laundering. Police stated that the group took over victims' phone numbers to intercept SMS messages and emails, thereby breaking into online accounts, including cryptocurrency exchange accounts, and stealing digital assets.



The funds were transferred through bank accounts in Poland and abroad, international payment platforms, and multi-currency digital wallets, involving millions of dollars in money laundering. The operation was assisted by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The four suspects have been temporarily detained, and the related charges are still pending judicial confirmation.
