Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced criminal charges against an 18-year-old Wisconsin man for a scheme to hack and sell access to user accounts of the sports betting site DraftKings.
The man, Joseph Garrison, is accused of working with others to steal about $600,000 from approximately 1,600 victim accounts during the November 2022 attack, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan.
DraftKings is not named in the criminal complaint against Garrison. But a person close to the company said it was a target of the so-called credential stuffing attack. DraftKings later confirmed it…
The company said it restored funds for the “limited number of users” who were impacted by the breach.
