According to data from the prosecutor’s office, Mahn worked as a radio engineer at Motorola before joining the Massachusetts Port Authority, also known as Massport. During his time at Massport, from August to September 2020, he sent phishing emails to 31 Motorola employees. These emails contained a malicious link to a fake Motorola payroll portal, allowing Mahn to steal corporate accounting data for unauthorized access. Once he obtained user credentials, Mahn sent text messages impersonating OKTA security messages to collect multifactor authentication codes. With |
