Debit and credit card fraud cases are
on the rise. With Rose being exposed to online fraud cases, a new fraud case
has now emerged from Noida. In which Neha Chandra, who works in a PR company,
went to Paris to enjoy a holiday, her purse was stolen while traveling in the
metro. Before he could understand anything, the hacker stole Rs 1.5 lakh from
his debit and credit card. The most striking of these was that this was done
without the OTP or PIN of the transaction.
The hackers transferred the money from
the woman's account three times. There were two transactions of Rs 52,499 and
Rs 44,544 with HDFC debit card and Rs 52,499 with HDFC credit card. Immediately
after the incident, Neha called his bank and blocked his card and transferred
the remaining money to another account.
About the incident, Rahul Tyagi,
co-founder of cyber security firm Lucideus, said that debit cards issued in
India do not require OTP for a fixed amount for online transactions abroad.
Tyagi said, hackers only need a card number and CVV for this kind of fraud.
Hackers have many types for ATM transactions so that they can access the user's
PIN. For example, a hacker might do a skimming attack with resetting the pin.
Alert Caution

- Before leaving the country, inform your bank and minimize the limit of non-OTP minimum transaction.
