An unnamed US defense contractor was induced to send sensitive, highly classified communications intercept equipment worth about $3 million dollars to an international criminal gang. A search warrant request the US Department of Homeland Security filed with the United States District Court for the District of Maryland revealed the details. Homeland Security Investigations asked for Apple iCloud information pertaining to four email accounts of interest. The incident appears to have been a phishing scam executed by hoods posing as a fictional US Navy contracting officer, "Daniel Drunz." In addition to the communications intercept gear, the gang also stole $6.3 million in televisions and $1.1 million in iPhones and iPads.

Gamers are big targets for criminal hackers, but not because gamers are easy pickings. In many ways gamers comprise one of the more security-conscious online subcommunities. But the stuff they can win, and the in-game purchases they make, can be surprisingly valuable. And where there's meat, there are flies.
"And the whole reason we're seeing that move into gaming is because it's a lucrative market. There is value to all of the skins, all of the devices you can buy for your characters. Those have value. It's easy to go and say to the FBI or to your local law enforcement, hey, somebody cracked into my bank account, and here's how much they stole. Here's how much I lost, and can you go investigate? If you go and say, somebody broke into my Minecraft account and took it over and sold it, it's a lot harder to explain to a police officer or a law enforcement officer that this has value."
—Martin McKeay of Akamai, on the CyberWire Daily Podcast, 7.9.19.
Thar's gold in them thar skins.
