According to the criminal complaint against Oyuntur in 2019, the damage from the phishing fraud occurred in September 2018.
Oyuntur and his conspirators registered the domain "dia-mil.com", which is very similar to the legitimate "dla.mil, and used it to send phishing emails.
These emails were delivered to users of SAM (System for Award Management), which is a vendor database where companies that want to conduct business with the Federal Government register themselves.
The phishing messages contained links to a cloned "login.gov" website, where the victimized vendors entered their account details, unknowingly exposing them to Oyuntur.
