一名英国男子在联邦法院认罪，承认策划了一起黑客计划，从全美受害者手中窃取了800万美元虚拟货币。
美国司法部在一份声明中表示，24岁的泰勒·罗伯特·布坎南来自苏格兰邓迪，他对一项共谋实施电信欺诈罪和一项加重身份盗窃罪认罪。他在加利福尼亚州中区联邦法院出庭。
联邦检察官表示，布坎南及其多名同谋在2021年9月至2023年4月期间实施了该计划。他们主要通过仿冒受害者公司或签约供应商的钓鱼短信入侵受害者手机。这些短信通常称员工的账户即将被停用，并要求受害者点击链接。
当受害者点击这些链接后，会被引导至伪装成合法网站的欺诈页面。检察官称，受害者输入个人信息后，布坎南及其同谋便可利用这些机密数据访问虚拟钱包并窃取加密货币。
法庭文件显示，布坎南及其同谋的目标至少包括美国及加拿大、印度、英国等海外地区的45家公司。
布坎南定于8月21日接受量刑听证，他最高面临22年联邦监禁。
联邦检察官表示，布坎南的同谋仍面临刑事指控，他们分别是：来自德克萨斯州学院站的24岁艾哈迈德·侯赛因·埃尔丁·埃尔巴达维，又名“AD”；来自德克萨斯州达拉斯的21岁埃文斯·奥涅亚卡·奥西博；以及来自北卡罗来纳州杰克逊维尔的26岁乔尔·马丁·埃文斯，又名“joeleoli”。
此案凸显了网络犯罪的整体趋势。美国联邦调查局今年4月早些时候发布的一份报告显示，2025年这类网络诈骗给美国人造成了近210亿美元的损失。诈骗者越来越多地利用社交媒体、短信和人工智能实施 targeted targeting。报告显示，60岁以上的美国人是最脆弱的群体，去年报告损失约77亿美元，较2024年增长37%。

U.K. man pleads guilty to hacking scheme that stole $8 million in virtual currency from victims across U.S.

A U.K. man pleaded guilty in federal court to orchestrating a hacking scheme that stole $8 million in virtual currency from victims across America.
Tyler Robert Buchanan, 24, of Dundee, Scotland, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement. He appeared in the Central District of California’s federal court.
Federal prosecutors said that Buchanan and several co-conspirators ran the scheme from September 2021 to April 2023. They primarily hacked into victims’ phones with phishing messages that appeared to be from the victim’s company or a contracted supplier. The text messages often said that the employees’ accounts were about to be deactivated and asked them to click on a link.
When victims opened these links, they were directed to fraudulent websites designed to mimic legitimate ones. Upon entering their personal information, Buchanan and his co-conspirators were able to exploit the confidential data to access virtual wallets and steal the currency, according to prosecutors.
Buchanan and his co-conspirators targeted at least 45 companies in the United States and abroad, including Canada, India, and the United Kingdom, court documents said.
Buchanan is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on August 21, where he faces a maximum penalty of 22 years in federal prison.
Federal prosecutors said Buchanan’s co-conspirators Ahmed Hossam Eldin Elbadawy, 24, a.k.a. “AD,” of College Station, Texas; Evans Onyeaka Osiebo, 21, of Dallas, Texas; and Joel Martin Evans, 26, a.k.a. “joeleoli,” of Jacksonville, North Carolina, still face criminal charges.
This case highlights a broader trend of cyber-enabled crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation released a report earlier in April that found that such crimes defrauded Americans of nearly $21 billion in 2025. Scammers increasingly leveraged social media, messages, and AI to target people. Americans over 60 being are the most vulnerable demographic, reporting about $7.7 billion in losses last year, a 37% increase from 2024, according to the report.
