IOL: Internet hackers fleece man of R26 000
IOL: Internet hackers fleece man of R26 000: "Standard Bank client Colin David lost about R26 000 in eight days and was forced to close his accounts and work through two new cards to stop the theft.
The hackers penetrate the account and in most cases transfer large sums of cash to prepaid cellphone accounts."
Comment: Although 26,000 Rands works out to roughly 3,600 US dollars, it's still a mighty sum for an identity theft that resulted in cash for prepaid cell phone accounts. That could potentially be a lot of phone air time.
