Europol Dismantles Massive SIM-Box Network Fueling Global Cybercrime Wave
European authorities have dismantled a sophisticated criminal operation running 1,200 SIM-box devices with 40,000 SIM cards that enabled over 3,200 fraud cases. The illegal service, operating through gogetsms.com and apisim.com, facilitated phishing, extortion, and identity theft across 80 countries while creating 49 million fraudulent accounts. The takedown resulted in arrests, asset seizures, and the freezing of €500,000 in assets.
