A cybercrime crew stole then resold more than 900 digital tickets to Taylor Swift concerts and other pricey events on StubHub .

The scam involved people working in Jamaica for a firm contracted by the online ticket marketplace.

The crew raked in more than $600,000 in profits over roughly a year between June 2022 and July 2023 , prosecutors say.

The majority of the stolen tickets were for Swift’s Eras Tour.
