Noah Urban Pleads Guilty to Cybercrime, Faces $13 Million Restitution

Noah Michael Urban, a 20-year-old member of the Scattered Spider cybercrime group, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft in federal cases in Florida and California. Urban, known by aliases such as 'King Bob', was involved in sophisticated cyberattacks that included SIM swapping and phishing to steal cryptocurrency and sensitive corporate data, resulting in losses estimated between $9.5 million and $25 million. The group targeted high-profile companies, using stolen credentials to compromise accounts and access personal information. Urban is required to pay over $13 million in restitution to his victims and faces up to 60 years in prison. His arrest followed a series of high-profile attacks, including those on MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. Authorities have apprehended two other suspects from the group, while two remain at large.
