Scamming your mobile online banking
Posted: 14 Sep 2020 13:01
A good article showing how the scammers can take control of your phone via the sim and get access to your bank after obtaining passwords
Even secure banking codes are diverted
A good tip at the end of the article is not posting too much information on social networks , ie family names , this is one place where they look for clues to your passwords
Social media accounts are one of the easiest places for hackers to operate, my wife has had her twitter account hijacked last week, now she is blocked and apparently someone from japan is using her e mail address, but they also hide their locations , so they could be from anywhere
