Infiltrating a cybercrime group wearing a wire with ex-FBI Supervisory Special Agent

Shane Sims is back on the show with a gripping story. Seriously, if Netflix decided to make a movie or mini-series about this, I wouldn’t even be surprised…except this really happened and you’re about to get a front-row seat to how it unfolded. Shane wore a wire and infiltrated a cybercrime group back in 2005 that was stealing intellectual property from organizations, including defense contractors. Normally when you think of cybercrime groups, you don’t think in-person meetings or “wearing wires” to catch them in the act. But this group primarily exploited wireless networks to exfiltrate IP and sensitive data, and then turned around to extort the organization. Catching them in the act required Shane to go undercover. They met in hotel rooms with SWAT teams on stand-by, they met in vans to carry out attacks, and they finally gathered enough evidence to arrest and charge the suspects. Hear about all of that from start to finish in this epic episode.
