Fraudsters steal money from cards using the bank's voice menu

The Central Bank discovered a new fraud scheme: attackers stole money from cards using voice

bank menu. They could find out customer phone numbers from the Joom marketplace databases leaked into the network.

The attackers called the bank using spoofedcustomer numbers and entered the voice menu system. When calling, the scammers asked the system for information on the balances on the clients’ cards. To do this, they only had to enter the last four digits of their bank card numbers. The criminals then called clients and introduced themselves as bank employees. They instilled confidence in the victims by giving the exact balance on the card. The scammers then tricked people out of their money.

It is reported that the phone numbers of customers and their bank cards were circulated on the Internet. The central bank believes that this data could be leaked from the customer base of the Joom marketplace.
