He had faced a maximum of 30 years in the cooler.<\/p>\n<p>This came after Rimasauskas <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/03\/21\/facebook_google_scam\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pleaded guilty<\/a> to overseeing the phishing scam that allowed him to collect money transfers from Google and Facebook under the guise of a Taiwanese equipment manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>The super-fraud pulled off the massive cash scam by creating lookalike domains and email accounts for Quanta, a Far Eastern contract manufacturer that builds, among other things, server components.<\/p>\n<p>Those fake accounts were then used to contact employees at both Facebook and Google between 2013 and 2015 and supply them with phony invoices that each of the tech giants thought were for real purchases (they were, mind you, likely doing business with the real Quanta while this was going on.)<\/p>\n<p>Rimasauskas then directed his victims to make wire payments into overseas accounts he controlled.<\/p>\n<p>While these sort of business email compromise attacks are hardly new concepts, it is rare to see one succeed against two companies of this size and net such a large payout for the attacker. When all was said and done, it was estimated that the two tech giants filled Rimasauskas&#8217; coffers to the tune of just over $120m.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2019\/12\/05\/cash_shutterstock.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"cash\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Who needs an elevator pitch when you have man-in-the-middle attack?\">VCs find exciting new way to blow $1m: Wire it directly to hackers after getting spoofed<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/12\/05\/vcs_tricked_mitm\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>He was indicted on the charge just before Christmas of 2016, got picked up by Lithuanian police in March of 2017, made his initial US court appearance in August of that year, and finally agreed to take the guilty plea on one count of wire fraud in March of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Now, almost exactly three years after his indictment was filed under seal, Rimasauskas has been given the five-year prison term. Following his release, he will also face deportation to Lithuania.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Evaldas Rimasauskas devised an audacious scheme to fleece U.S. companies out of more than $120m, and then funneled those funds to bank accounts around the globe,&#8221; boasted US attorney Geoffrey Berman, prosecutor in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rimasauskas carried out his high-tech theft from halfway across the
