has been unsealed against a Wisconsin man who was allegedly part of a plot to hack user accounts on a fantasy sports and betting website and sell access to the hacked accounts in order to steal from them.
According to the complaint, Garrison launched what's called a"credential stuffing attack" on the unnamed betting website. During such an attack, the hacker collects stolen usernames and passwords, typically obtained from large-scale data breaches. Those credentials are then systemically used to access accounts.
Officials then searched Garrison's home, according to the complaint, where they found programs and files establishing that Garrison accessed the betting site. There were nearly 40 million username and password pairs found on Garrison's computer, as well as hundreds of configuration files for different corporate websites. They also found similar instructions about how to use stolen credentials to steal money and messages between Garrison and others involved in the scheme.
