Hacker shows how to steal someone's payment card details and buy a tank of petrol

Frontend engineer Herman Stander recently fell victim to a phishing attack, losing his entire month’s salary to a cybercriminal.

Stander was taken aback as the attacker had used one of his FNB Virtual Cards to make several R4,998 purchases and his bank had not sent him a single transaction notification.

Hey @epah look who made news. He is now a celebrity

Dirty Herry

He also had a land rover, so not the first time he fell for a scam.

I don't think you know what the word hacker really means. Giving your information freely away isn't hacking at all.

MyBroadband contacted FNB for comment, and the bank explained that its virtual card system’s rotating CVV does not come into play when using digital wallets.

MyBroadband contacted FNB for comment, but it did not provide feedback by publication.

This is why we try remain anonymous, we now know the quantum of your salary etc...

every time someone googles your name this article etc will pop up.

worth it? i think not

This is a huge red flag, but someone in a rush or unfamiliar with online payment systems might not register that the OTP request is out of place.

The tinyurl in the sms should've been clue enough.

15 min of fame, by falling for a phishing scam?
I mean I do empathize with the guy, don't get me wrong,

but when I was robbed, I replaced all my bank cards, deleted and redid all my Virtual cards, and even went so far as changing all my passwords to all my main accounts,
can it be somebody will still rob me? absolutely, but one needs to be awake at all times and act QUICKLY when it happens.

I understand the loss here, and its not nice.

But... proof of concept that requires you actively ignore security warnings and procedures - is it a proof of concept? can we stretch it to that name...?

 

[epah]

This is low even for MYBB, You guys really posted this article and to top it off try to defame FNB over this. The dumbass front-end engineering gave his details away and gave several approvals to FNB for all these transactions.

I am disgusted. This has absolutely nothing to do with FNB.

Don’t use products if you don’t understand how they work.

In this article - putting your credit card details in dodgy websites are dangerous.

Yap. The rest of you will suffer because of one man’s stupidity.

Imagine being this guys employer and then reading this. I would be worried if I had the right employee if I were them. What a dumbass.

Probably signs in to work on unsecured WiFi too, I hope he does not work at my company.

Why don't he just use the regular plastic card.. And like his dick, don't put it anywhere it don't belong.. Then he'll be alright I'm sure... Good advice for confused man.
