Scattered Spider Hacker Sentenced to 10 Years, Ordered to Repay $13M for SIM Swapping Crypto Theft
A 20-year-old member of the infamous cybercrime group Scattered Spider has received a ten-year prison sentence in the U.S. for his role in a series of high-profile hacks and cryptocurrency thefts. Noah Michael Urban, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in April 2025, will also face three years of supervised release and is required to pay $13 million in restitution to his victims. Urban, who used multiple aliases including Sosa and King Bob, was apprehended by U.S. authorities in Florida in January 2024, following crimes committed between August 2022 and March 2023 that resulted in the theft of over $800,000. In a statement to security journalist Brian Krebs, Urban decried the sentence as unjust.

New Vulnerabilities May Allow Hackers to Bypass Spectre Mitigations on Linux
Cybersecurity researchers have recently unveiled two critical vulnerabilities in Linux-based systems. If exploited, these flaws could enable attackers to bypass mitigations for speculative execution attacks like Spectre and access sensitive kernel memory. Identified by Piotr Krysiuk from Symantec’s Threat Hunter team, the vulnerabilities are designated as CVE-2020-27170 and CVE-2020-27171, both with a CVSS score of 5.5. They affect all Linux kernels released before version 5.11.8. Security patches were made available on March 20, with various distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, and Red Hat, implementing fixes. CVE-2020-27170 can disclose content from any kernel memory location, while CVE-2020-27171 enables data retrieval from a 4GB segment of kernel memory. First reported in January 2018, the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities exploit weaknesses in modern CPUs to leak sensitive data.
