Wisconsin Teen Charged with Cyberattack on Sportsbook and Stealing $600K

An 18-year-old Wisconsin man, Joseph Garrison, has been charged with six counts of conspiracy, fraud, and identity theft related to a credential stuffing attack on a fantasy sports and betting site that impacted approximately 60,000 accounts. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, if convicted. Garrison surrendered to authorities in New York and was found with programs typically used for credential stuffing attacks and computer files containing nearly 40 million username and password pairs. The indictment did not identify the betting site, but DraftKings later released a statement saying it worked with law enforcement in the investigation.
