Cyber fraudsters hacked the Himachal Pradesh State Cooperative Bank’s server using a customer’s mobile phone. According to reports, the fraudsters hacked a customer’s mobile banking app at the bank’s Halti branch in Chamba district and withdrew Rs 11.55 crores, which was later transferred to 20 different bank accounts.
The State Cyber Cell reported that the incident happened on May 11 and 12, but it wasn’t discovered until May 14 because the bank was closed for a holiday and couldn’t receive the transaction report from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
