That's not mentioned in the article. It does mention that the numbers of the victims were shared, but doesn't specifically say they were spoofed. If it's that easy to spoof a phone number then that system is completely fucked and not fit for purpose. And the efforts that a private investigator needed to go to, to track down the perpetrator, indicates that there is no way to track the source of the phone calls - that's ludicrous (but probably the norm).
