Sophia (Shani Atias) is a secondary villainess from "Flash Squad", episode 2.17 of CSI: Cyber (airdate March 9, 2016). She was a member of the "Flash Squad" along with her friends Madison Brooks and Riley Van Lowe, with the girls hacking the GPS app Freelane to lure victims to isolated locations to rob them. They also posted video updates of their ill-gotten gains to gain fame.
In the episode, the Flash Squad's latest victim was Joel Matthews, with the girls luring him to train tracks and using a device to put down the crossing gate before trying to take the watches from his car. When Joel pulled off the shaded visor Riley was wearing, Madison shot and killed Joel and also shot Riley when she attempted to call the police. Sophia, while initially horrified by Madison's actions, helped her take the watches before fleeing the scene.
Later on, when Sophia learned that Riley had survived being shot, she called Madison and was convinced by her villainous friend that they had to leave town before the police could catch them. While staying at a motel room, Sophia and Madison were excited over Gossip News Entertainment apparently did a story over them, not knowing it was a trap set up by the Cyber Division to trap them. As Sophia and Madison were trying to escape town, with Sophia hacking Freelane to give them a clear route, the police surrounded them (having set a trap on Freelane for the robbers) and eventually placed them under arrest.
