Who’s Behind the SWAT USA Reshipping Service?
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity reports that SWAT USA, a reshipping service that recruits U.S. residents to forward packages bought with stolen credit cards, currently employs more than 1,200 people in the United States. The article traces the service's co-owner, who uses the nickname "Fearlless" on the Russian-language cybercrime forum Verified, to an earlier account called "Apathyp" and then to an email address tied to a Vkontakte profile for Ivan Sherban.
Bottom line: More than 1,200 U.S. residents are reshipping stolen electronics for this operation, and the trail that identifies its operator runs through reused passwords and a birthdate embedded in an email handle - the kind of personal data hygiene failure that exposes criminal and legitimate identities alike.
