International Crime Ring Stole Thousands of iPhones Using Custom Software and Insider Access

An international crime ring used custom-built software, bribes, and a large network to steal thousands of iPhones immediately after delivery. They bribed AT&T employees for order details and delivery addresses, and used software to circumvent FedEx tracking limitations. The group involved at least 13 people who have been arrested, but the software developer remains at large. The case highlights the need for requiring signatures for valuable deliveries.
