Filippo Bernardini fraudulently obtained a Pulitzer-winning author’s manuscript by posing as a well-known editor, the Department of Justice alleges.
Filippo Bernardini, 29, of London, was arrested at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport Wednesday, accused of having impersonated hundreds of agents, editors and other publishing professionals online in order to obtain unpublished manuscripts for novels and other books, five years after authors and publishers began finding themselves targeted by mysterious phishing attempts.
Bernardini is accused of having registered over 160 web domains to create email addresses that were misleadingly similar to publishing professionals’ actual email addresses, using typographical tricks like substituting the letters “r” and “n” for the letter “m.”
