Spanish police have arrested a British national accused of leading an organized cybercrime group that broke into dozens of U.S. companies. The alleged hacker ringleader used phishing techniques to steal passwords and gained access to internal information and cryptocurrency. The arrest comes after the group, known as "0ktapus," targeted companies like Twilio in 2022, compromising employee passwords and customer networks. The suspect is part of a larger community of cybercriminals called "the Com," which includes individuals skilled in social engineering and impersonation tactics.
