Doxxed crypto hackers ‘Airbnb hopping’ to avoid kidnappers and rivals, report
Doxxed crypto hackers are resorting to ‘Airbnb hopping’ — using fake identities to rent out Airbnb properties — as they look to stay one step ahead of kidnappers and rival criminals, reports 404 Media. Criminals have reportedly thrown bricks, shot up homes, and attempted to kidnap the unmasked cybercriminals, while some have been hunted by rivals looking to rob them. Messages seen by 404 Media appear to show hackers trying to purchase existing Airbnb accounts with positive reviews that will allow them to carry out the scheme. Other messages show threatening messages from rival criminals, with one reading, “Keep Airbnb hopping before I get to u.” 404 Media reports that at least one member of a SIM-swapping group that allegedly stole bitcoin also relies on Airbnb hopping.
