With several non-resident Indians (NRI), especially from the US, complaining to the Cyberabad East police that their banking details were accessed by fraudsters by phishing, police have issued an advisory on Saturday urging citizens not to share passwords on email chats.
“After taking the email account into their control, hackers are selectively sending mails and also communicating on Gmail chat to persons in the contact list of the hacked Gmail accounts.
“The hackers, during the chat, are making persons in the contact list (most of them relatives and friends) to believe that, due to technical reasons, their bank accounts are frozen and they are unable to draw money and requesting them to share their net banking details such as account number, user ID and password, so that, they can draw money abroad,” Cyberabad East commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat said in the release.
