A sophisticated cybercrime operation has been uncovered in New York involving the theft and resale of over 900 digital concert tickets on StubHub, particularly for high-demand events like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Prosecutors revealed that workers in Jamaica collaborated with accomplices in New York, resulting in over $600,000 in profits over approximately a year. Key figures in the scheme, Tyrone Rose and Shamara Simmons, face various charges including grand larceny and computer tampering. StubHub has responded by enhancing its security measures and reporting the illicit activities to authorities.
The international scam involved individuals in Jamaica stealing ticket URLs from StubHub, leading to over 900 digital tickets being resold, profitting over $600,000.
The crew primarily targeted tickets for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, but also included significant events featuring Adele, Ed Sheeran, NBA games, and the U.S. Open.
