SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 15 – Joseph Garrison on
November 15 pleaded guilty to
hacking sports betting
accounts.
His mother was
present and asked to sit at
the defense table with him.
The request was denied, but
she sat in the gallery, where
Inner City Press was the only
other civilian.
Garrison is 19
years old. His plea was
accepted and he will be
sentenced on January 16, 2024.
Afterward the
prosecutors announced:
On or about November 18, 2022,
GARRISON launched a
“credential stuffing attack”
on the Betting Website.
During a credential stuffing
attack, a cyber threat actor
collects stolen credentials or
username and password pairs
obtained from large-scale data
breaches of companies that can
be purchased on the dark
web. The threat actor
then systematically attempts
to use those stolen
credentials to obtain
unauthorized access to
accounts held by the same user
with other companies and
providers in order to
compromise accounts where the
user has maintained the same
password.
GARRISON and
others successfully accessed
approximately 60,000 accounts
at the Betting Website (the
“Victim Accounts”) through the
credential stuffing
attack. GARRISON
messaged the following, in
substance and in part: “fraud
is fun . . . im addicted to
see money in my account . . .
im like obsessed with
bypassing shit.”
The case is
US v. Garrison, 23-cr-597
(Kaplan / Lehrburger)
