SentinelOne, Friday, August 22nd, 2025
Noah Michael Urban, a key UNC3944 member, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. Arrested in January 2024, he and four others were charged with stealing millions from cryptocurrency wallets using SMS phishing, SIM swaps, and stolen employee credentials.
Urban admitted making 'several million dollars', though much was lost gambling. He must pay $13 million restitution. UNC3944 is notorious for its high-profile breaches. Most recently, the collective had set their sights on major entities within the retail, insurance, and transportation verticals.
