A Nigerian national, James Junior Aliyu, has been sentenced to 90 months in prison in the United States for his involvement in a $3.6 million wire fraud and money laundering scheme. Authorities say the conspiracy included plans to hack into business email servers to steal funds from victims.
Aliyu was found guilty of orchestrating a complex network of fraudulent activities designed to divert large sums of money into accounts under his control. The US Department of Justice noted that such cyber-enabled financial crimes pose serious risks to businesses and the integrity of international financial systems.
