A 23-year-old man in Taiwan had his legs amputated to receive a $1.3 million insurance payout, prosecutors said. Just days before, Zhang bought several expensive life insurance, travel insurance, and accident insurance policies, prosecutors said. Local media, citing prosecutors, reported that Zhang had claimed $7,200 from one insurer, but this money would be seized. The department's chief inspector, Tom Hill, said an increasing cost of living may push people to consider insurance fraud. AdvertisementThe FBI estimates that an annual $400 to $700 from the average US family's insurance premiums goes to covering insurance fraud costs.

REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File PhotoLONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - A teenage member of the Lapsus$ hacking group hacked Uber (UBER.N) and fintech firm Revolut then blackmailed the developers of best-selling videogame Grand Theft Auto, prosecutors have told a London court. Arion Kurtaj, 18, is said to have targeted Revolut and Uber in September 2022, accessing around 5,000 Revolut customers' information and causing nearly $3 million of damage to Uber. Prosecutors allege he hacked Rockstar Games days later and threatened to release the planned Grand Theft Auto sequel's source code in a Slack message sent to all Rockstar staff. Kurtaj later embarked on a solo cyber crime spree, Barry said, first targeting Revolut then Uber two days later before hacking Rockstar Games. He has previously pleaded guilty to two offences under the Computer Misuse Act and one count of fraud.

Jan 15 (Reuters) - A man in his 60s has been arrested in connection with an investigation linked to the discovery of traces of uranium found in a cargo package at London's Heathrow Airport, the UK Metropolitan Police said on Sunday. The man was arrested on suspicion of a terror offence on Saturday and was released on bail as part of the investigation, the Police said. A very small quantity of uranium was detected in a package that arrived at Heathrow Airport on Dec. 29. Uranium can be used for civilian power generation and scientific purposes and is a key ingredient in nuclear weapons.
