"Besides committing large-scale 'phishing' campaigns and trying to gain access to financial data by phone or online, the suspects also pretended to be police or banking staff and approached older victims at their doors."
"The vishing operation was powered by a network of call centers that were established in luxury residential towers and Airbnb homes, highlighting the sophisticated nature of the cybercrime involved."
"Victims have been believed to be spread across at least 10 different countries, with the scheme netting the group millions of dollars in illegal profit through phishing and bank help desk fraud."
"The stolen money, per Europol, was used to book luxury holidays in Spain and buy expensive watches, jewelry, shoes, and designer clothing from brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Rolex."
