Eigenaar belwinkel faciliteerde sim-swapping voor stelen van cryptovaluta

Voor de rechtbank Limburg is een eigenaar van een belwinkel (55) veroordeeld tot drie maanden celstraf. De verdachte hielp criminelen bij het plegen van sim-swapping waarmee weer cryptovaluta van slachtoffers werden gestolen. In de zaak zijn vijf verdachten veroordeeld.

🎥 Is There a 100% Free AI Video Face Swap Tool with No Limits?

Spoiler alert: Not really — but don’t click away just yet! If you're a curious creator, meme lover, or just testing the waters of deepfake technology, there are definitely ways to experiment with AI video face swaps for free (even NSFW ones 👀) — you just have to know where to look.

Here’s your no-BS guide to the current face swap scene ⬇️

🔍 Why No-Limit Free Tools Are Rare AI video editing is expensive on the backend. Those slick swaps you see? They’re powered by GPUs chugging through frame-by-frame facial data. That’s why most platforms limit free use (think watermarks, time limits, or daily quotas).

🛠️ Top Tools with Free Tiers (or Workarounds)

Reface / Zao: Easy, fun, but limited to preset clips.

DeepFaceLab / SimSwap: Fully free and open-source — but you’ll need tech skills and a decent PC.

aifaceswap.art: Has some free use, supports NSFW video swaps, and doesn’t require coding.

💡 Tips to Maximize Free Face Swapping

Use short, low-res clips to save credits

Create alt accounts for more free usage

Mix platforms: face swap on one, enhance on another

⚠️ Ethics Matter! Swapping a celeb’s face into a meme? Fine. Swapping your ex’s face into a video? Not so cool — and probably illegal. Consent is 🔑. Always check platform policies and stay respectful.

✨ TL;DR: You can face swap for free with AI — just not endlessly. But if you're creative and a little crafty, you can do a lot without paying a cent.

👀 Want more freedom? Check out aifaceswap for NSFW-friendly video swaps without strict limits.

Bank of America Reimburses Client After SIM-Swapping Incident

Why so serious? 😟

So, here’s the tea ☕: Bank of America decided to cough up $20,000 to none other than Justin Chan, who found himself in a classic “I can’t believe this is happening” moment after a SIM-swapping attack played him like a grand piano in September 2024. A casual $38,000 was swiped from his account like it was spare change, all thanks to the fine folks at Xfinity Mobile and Robinhood. Talk about a wild way to “cash out”! 💸

Initially, BoA was all “Nah, we can’t verify that!” when it came to the reimbursement. But once the media got wind of the drama, they re-evaluated the situation—proving that sometimes, a little public pressure works wonders! 👀 Thank goodness for the modern age, right?

"The event demonstrates the challenges of reimbursement for digital theft, especially where two-factor authentication is tied to a mobile carrier, and financial institutions deny responsibility in the absence of direct platform error." — Melissa Lambarena, Personal Finance Expert, NerdWallet

Folks, this isn’t just a cautionary tale for Justin; it’s a wake-up call for all of us! 📣 With the rise of digital wallets and cryptocurrencies, it’s time to really 🌌 think about how we safeguard our assets. Experts recommend going full-on James Bond mode with unique passwords and PINs. Seriously, your money deserves *better*!

While this debacle didn’t involve crypto directly, it underscores the security weaknesses lurking in our digital lives. Let’s get this conversation rolling about cybersecurity standards and tighter security measures. Are we due for changes? Only time will tell! ⏳

SEC Discovers SIM Swapping Attack Responsible for Fake Bitcoin Post on X

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that a "SIM swapping" attack was responsible for its recent account breach on the social media platform X. This attack led to the creation of a fake post announcing the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and caused a significant increase in the cryptocurrency's price. 👤

In a SIM swapping attack, a cybercriminal obtains control of a person's phone number through techniques like social engineering. This allows them to intercept calls and messages, including two-factor authentication codes, intended for the victim. In the SEC's case, the attacker gained control of the phone number linked to its X account and reset the account's password. The SEC had disabled multifactor authentication on the account earlier but reenabled it after discovering the breach. 🔒

The SEC is working with law enforcement to investigate how the attacker discovered the phone number associated with its X account and convinced the mobile carrier to perform the SIM swap. It is still unclear how this information was obtained. The SEC also stated that it had multifactor authentication active on all its other social media accounts. 🕵️‍♂️

Lange gevangenisstraf voor cybercrime en fraude

De rechtbank Noord-Nederland heeft een man (22, uit Assen) veroordeeld tot 42 maanden cel én het uitzitten van een eerder opgelegde voorwaardelijke straf van twee jaar. De man pleegde computervredebreuk en (pogingen tot) oplichting door in te breken op het systeem van T-Mobile. Hij voerde zogenaamde simswaps uit en wist telefoonnummers van klanten over te nemen. Daarmee fraudeerde hij. Hij wist,…

Willow: Well, I certainly think this has been an eventful week for you guys. What are your final takeaways?

Geoffrey: Honestly, this went better than I could've expected. Getting outside perspectives was really the eye-opener I needed. I don't expect everything to change overnight, but it's a good start.

Nancy: I'll admit, I took a bit of an ego blow in this process, but I think it was necessary. Learning to be vulnerable is going to be a big step for me, but a necessary one if I want healthy family relationships.

Malcolm: I don't know what I expected going into this, I'm still not sure how I feel. A lot of things have been said, a lot of promises have been made... I guess it's just gonna be a matter of waiting and seeing.

Bart Stephens Suffers $6.3 Million SIM-Swap Crypto Theft 😱

So, you think your crypto wallet is secure? Well, think again! Our buddy Bart Stephens, cofounder of Blockchain Capital and crypto crusader, just got hit with a whopping $6.3 million theft, and guess what? It wasn’t via the dark web—it was through a good ol’ SIM-swap attack. Yep, you heard it right! His phone number, the gateway to his treasure trove of crypto wallets, was compromised. Talk about getting hacked by a bunch of kids playing with their dad’s computer!

“I would encourage Jamie Dimon and others to do some homework first. It is not a fraud. It is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a robust technology that is going to impact multiple industries.” - Bart Stephens

With this cringe-worthy incident, the spotlight is back on the ugly truth of SIM-swap attacks that are lurking around in the crypto sphere like that monster under your bed. 🛏️ We need stronger armor for our digital fortresses! The irony? Bart recently warned about the very security risks that led to his downfall. Irony level: 100!

The theft not only cost him millions but could have potentially stacked on an extra $14 million in losses. 🤑 Just imagine what you could do with that cash—buy a yacht? Invest in a meme coin that’s *definitely* not a Ponzi scheme?

But don’t fret! This isn't just about crying over spilt crypto—this incident is spurring the crypto community into a frenzy. People are now shouting for better security measures (you know, like not relying on SMS for 2FA!). Experts are suggesting we ditch the "it’s-so-easy-just-send-an-SMS" approach and consider hardware keys instead—because, let’s be real, no one wants to be sipping their morning coffee while watching their life savings vanish.

Remember Nicholas Truglia? That guy swiped over $20 million using similar tricks. Makes you wonder if these SIM-swappers are organizing a league of supervillains. 😏

So, to all you crypto enthusiasts out there, what are you doing to secure your digital assets? Are you still trusting SMS codes, or have you made the leap to hardware? Let's chat in the comments! And hey, for more juicy details on Bart's shocking saga, check out the full article here. Stay safe, stay savvy! 💪

SIM-swappers Get Caught On Both Sides of The Atlantic

Michael Terpin made the news for all the wrong reasons a couple of months ago. Terpin lost over $24 million worth of cryptocurrency due to a SIM-swapping hack, which wiped out his crypto fortune. In an unexpected turn of events, Terpin was awarded compensation that tops his original loss three times. The Los Angeles Superior Court has ordered the bandit behind the scam, Nicholas Truglia, to pay $74.8 million to Terpin. In early 2018, Truglia along with a group of 25 bad actors executed a SIM-swapping fraud, that ultimately gave them access to Terpin's crypto belongings. Once Truglia and his friends took control over his account, they transacted over 3 million tokens, which asset they belonged to was not disclosed, however. Back in January, Terpin filed a lawsuit against Truglia and is still hunting his gang members. Additionally, he sues his mobile phone operator AT&T for gross negligence. Terpin seeks $224 million in compensation from the operator. According to the victim, AT&T should be held responsible for allowing the gang to take control over his phone number. In related news, the 20-year-old Irish man Conor Freeman is facing over 100 years in prison for conducting similar crimes. Freeman was found to be part of “The Community” hacking group, which stole over $2 million worth of crypto through SIM-swapping. Freeman is about to be extradited to the US if found guilty. The Community consisted of six individuals, according to US court files. Notably, this is not the first time, the sextet has been caught committing crimes. They have been convicted of ID theft, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Additionally, the police suspect three mobile operator employees of taking part in the attacks. Court reports state that The Community paid bribes to Fendley Johnson, Robert Jack, and Jarrat White, who assisted the culprits. The documents read: “The phone number was leveraged as a gateway to gain control of online accounts such as a victims’ email, cloud storage, and cryptocurrency exchange accounts.” This tactic effectively bypassed all security layers including 2fa deployed by the victims. One of the victims was a professional gamer who lost over $200,000 worth of digital assets. Read the full article
