There was a guy in Berlin who was issuing fake landing clearances recently: https://aviation.direct/en/berlin-falscher-fluglotse-narrte-...

It took 6 months to find him, and mind you that that guy was the opposite of clever (he was talking from his bathtub, from what I remember, and he started out not even knowing the ATC language).

Also, it really makes sense to think ahead just a bit, you know. Not everything has to be triggered with an accident, and in this case we're likely talking about terrorism, since no one would do this without realising just how bad the legal consequences are.
