A couple of retired Lot-et-Garonnais recently experienced the mishap to see their bank accounts melt as snow in the sun through the fault of a hacking.Fortunately, with the help of their bank, the gendarmes and their telephone operator, the fraud could be unmasked in time.Narrative.

Identity usurpation, online fraud: many situations can lead to hacking of the bank account, even if they are not frequent.If the bank card is at the origin of fraud in the majority of cases, the bank account itself can be a source of fraud.A situation in which a couple of septuagenarians from Francescas have faced.We relate it below to alert this practice.

Imagine the shock when the two retirees recently realized that there was nothing left on their bank accounts.The husband rushed to his bank to ask for explanations.Obviously, there was hacking of all accounts.This is the first time that this bank has seen questionable transfers on a main account of a customer!Usually the damage focused on embezzlement made on blue cards.The account and booklets of our unfortunate people have been emptied and the money transferred to an Irish platform entitled "Web Melissa" and "Web Mose Junior".

Second intervention in Nérac for our septuagenarians, at the gendarmerie, to file a complaint.According to the gendarmes, the evil could come from the customer area of the telephone operator who would have been hacked.These computer hackers, thanks to the laptop of the husband, would have had access to the couple's accounts.Advised by the gendarmerie, the two Franciscans went urgently to Agen with their telephone operator, to change the SIM card and the confidential code of the telephone and to know how to protect yourself from this computer attack.The telephone operator pointed out to them that the attack was made on August 18 at 9:53 p.m. from Morocco!

We must salute the kindness and patience of an employee of the operator who ended after two hours by solving this problem.The morality of all this story is that you must almost daily check your accounts, and pay attention to its fixed or mobile customer area.Do not lose a minute and go quickly to your bank report the offense.The bank has the power to block transfers when the case is taken in time.On the side of Francescas, this was fortunately the case.Also be careful to find out about your bank to find out if you are well insured for this kind of offense.
