SIMCARTEL Takedown: Major SIM-Box Supply Network Bust

🔒 Law enforcement dismantled a criminal SIM-card supply network known as 'SIMCARTEL' following coordinated actions across multiple European countries. The now-defunct service operated a commercial SIM-box platform that let customers rent phone numbers from over 80 countries to create and manage an estimated 49 million fake online accounts used in phishing, fraud and other serious offences. Authorities seized five servers, around 1,200 SIM-box devices (operating ~40,000 SIMs), hundreds of thousands of SIM cards, froze more than $500,000 in bank funds and over $330,000 in crypto, and took down two domain services linked to the operation.
