Another Vodacom banking fraud arrest

:eek: dont these people learn?There is no way you could get away with crime using Vodacom systems. I heard people claiming to hack Vodacom's recharge systems and all but guess what?no one could provide proof.

they'd have got away if they hadn't got greedy.
assume you work for Vodacom?
 
This is scary stuff.. when I worked at a bank, I got a frantic call from a customer who was an attorney.. he called us and begged us to freeze one of his accounts, a trust account. He said that he was sitting there, in the middle of a power failure, so his PC was off.. and he was getting random verification numbers for loading new beneficiaries on his cellphone, and also getting sms'es confirming the transfer of large amounts of money. Obviously what happened there was a employee got all the details and the cellphone number, and the SIM was cloned..

The risk there is that if you run a business, such as a law firm, you need to give people your bank account information. Its also easy for an employee to sneak into your office when you are on lunch and put a key logger on your PC.. But I mean, even until that point you are fine because all they can do is get onto your system and transfer money to your loaded beneficiaries.. the REAL f__kup and danger comes when the final security measure is compromised.. the random verification number and the cloning of your sim card!
