Fourteen men and two women, aged between 17 and 47, and two 16-year-old male teenagers have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the recent spate of banking-related malware scam cases, said the police.
A 45-year-old man is believed to have withdrawn money from a money mule’s bank account and handed the money to an unknown person. Subsequently, the scammers convinced the victims via phone calls or text messages to turn on accessibility services on their Android phones.As a result, the scammers could log every keystroke, steal banking credentials stored on the phones, remotely access the victims’ banking apps, add money mules as payees, raise payment limits and transfer money to money mules.
