Kamerin Stokes, a 23-year-old from Memphis, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for selling access to hacked DraftKings accounts. The accounts were compromised during a credential-stuffing attack in November 2022, which affected nearly 68,000 users. Stokes purchased these accounts from Nathan Austad and Joseph Garrison, who had exploited stolen credentials from multiple breaches. The attackers collectively stole around $635,000 from approximately 1,600 compromised accounts, generating over $2.1 million in sales from these hijacked accounts. After his arrest, Stokes continued his illegal activities, reopening his online shop under the tagline 'fraud is fun.' He has been ordered to pay $1,327,061 in restitution and $125,965.53 in forfeiture. Stokes's actions victimized thousands of users on the DraftKings platform, prompting significant financial losses for the company.
