An underground movement of hackers is taking over victim telephones and draining their financial accounts!  In the past 12 months, a California high-tech task force named REACT has identified more than 800 victims and nearly $50 million in losses of cash and cryptocurrency.  Please join Santa Clara County Prosecutor Erin West and DA Investigator David Berry as they explain this phenomenon known as “sim-swapping” and detail how the hackers are able to access phones, hijack social media, and ultimately steal millions of dollars.  We will take a look at this new class of criminals and identify ways to protect ourselves against this growing crime wave.

Presented by:
Erin West, Prosecutor, Santa Clara Prosecutors Office
