Florida Man Arrested for Hacking Doctors’ Phones to Issue Thousands of Illegal Prescriptions!
CNS News–Devin Magarian, a 21-year-old Florida resident, has been arrested in New York under charges that read like a plot from a cybercrime thriller. Accused of hacking into doctors’ e-prescribing accounts, Magarian allegedly issued thousands of fraudulent prescriptions, weaving a complex web of deceit across the healthcare and pharmaceutical landscape.
The modus operandi involved the sophisticated hacking of physicians’ phones to gain access to their prescribing credentials, subsequently used to write illegal prescriptions for controlled substances. The scale of the operation was vast, with pharmacies across multiple states dispensing these fraudulent prescriptions to fake patients.
Magarian’s operation was not just technologically savvy but also deeply entrenched in the digital underworld, utilizing a Telegram channel to market these illicit prescriptions. The digital trail led to an undercover operation that unveiled the extent of the scheme, with Magarian personally involved in transactions that highlighted the audacity and scope of his criminal enterprise.
