Three ways to Rob a Bank via the Internet
Fraudulent technical support
There are cases where the fraudsters under the guise of technicians into a financial institution and implemented a clever scheme to transfer money from Bank accounts. So, in April of this year, the attacker, who identified himself as a technician, snuck into the Barclays Bank branch where it was attached to a 3G router KVM switch — a device designed for switching one set of gadgets I / o between multiple computers.
In the end, the crooks got the opportunity to transfer money to their accounts via the cellular network. The amount of damage amounted to £1.3 million.
Phishing
This is one of the most common methods of finding out from Bank customers personal information. Cyber criminals make fake sites that copy the design of official web-resource of the Bank, and then, under various pretexts lure unsuspecting users. Instructions to visit a fake page can be sent via e-mail, SMS-mailing, etc.
Currency conversion
If using the online system to swap $10 for pounds sterling? With today's courses will be £6,22. But if you convert a single cent, subject to rounding, the system will give one penny. In this case, the benefit is obvious. Crooks, of course, use this: special programs over and over again doing a similar conversion, bringing the criminals to substantial amount of money.
