cyber crime

Look what happened with the CEO of a big company in Hyderabad : 16 lakh rupees stolen online from his account. There was no OTP, no call, no online link was sent or opened. The CEO himself is very tech- friendly but there was no way to know how such an amount was stolen. Cyber crime elite officers were on the case but could not figure out or understand . Invisible hand ? wireless crime ?

All the scanning was done from the mobile but no trace was found, only one clue was found from the CCTV footage in his office.

It was found that the mobile charger of the CEO was replaced in the office and another USB charger ( exactly identical make/model ) was placed in its place. Such a sleek operation was done by a cleaning staff who works outside office hours. All his data was copied, his entire mobile banking was hacked and money was smoothly withdrawn from the account. In this modus operandi, the charger is first replaced and a micro chip is already installed in that replaced charger and all the data is copied and hacked. And this is very difficult to detect . So from now on, keep a special eye on chargers and USB cords. Don't leave them behind in your office. And don't use someone else's or charge your mobile in an unknown place. Don't get enticed by the dangling chargers/free charging in airports/ malls/clubs etc. And when you go abroad, never fall a prey to free wifi passwords in malls/restaurants/tourist coaches etc.
