Cybercrime group sells stolen concert tickets, makes $600,000.

A group of criminals stole digital tickets to events like Taylor Swift concerts and then sold them again illegally. They did this by taking the website addresses of tickets bought on StubHub and sending them to other people.

These people then downloaded the tickets and sold them on StubHub for much higher prices than they were originally sold for. This scam involved people in Jamaica working for a company hired by StubHub.

The group made over $600,000 from this illegal activity in about a year, mostly from stealing tickets to Taylor Swift's concert tour. They also stole tickets to other events like Adele and Ed Sheeran concerts, basketball games, and a tennis tournament.

Two people involved in the scheme, Tyrone Rose and Shamara Simmons, were caught and charged with crimes related to theft and computer use. Rose was found while visiting New York and both he and Simmons said they did not commit the crimes.

StubHub, the company whose tickets were stolen, said they found out about the scheme and told the police. They also said they stopped working with the company involved, made their systems more secure, and gave people their money back or new tickets.
