Cyber-sleuthing exposes online fraudster

Excellent news... hope he'll realize that it is wrong to steal other people's money.

And I don't go banking at Internet cafes.... too untrustworthy.

And Telkom must get a part of the blame with their exorbitant pricing which puts internet access out of the reach of most people...
 
The 28-year-old man was arrested after a joint operation between the Scorpions, Standard Bank (SBK) and a UK-based security consultancy, which traced the man through his prepaid SIM card on his mobile phone, Standard Bank said in a statement.

The fraudulent transactions were all conducted using Vodacom's data service, said Singh, and the mobile number used was identified with close collaboration from Vodacom. The security consultancy then traced the suspect to a house in Cape Town.

I wonder if the suspect was using the vlive APN while Vodacom's vlive APN billing was temporarily offline...?
 
I don't see anything amazing about "sophisticated keystroke logging technology", how sophisticated can it get? Logs the persons fingers prints and deodorant as well?

Any little kid can do that ****...
 
yeah exactly thats not sophisticated at all, and he didnt even write the program himself, sounds more like a script kiddy, Keyloggers are so 5 years ago
 
I see that they used a private investigator to do the work in consultation with Vodacom. So VC themselves were not up to the task it seems.

You should see the hardware keyloggers. They are completely undetectable.
 
Lol

A week ago you/v3g were denying it.:rolleyes:

I still believe they could do it if they got off their backsides and made an effort.

Who looks there in an internet cafe?

Also you can easily have a dongle INSIDE the keyboard.
