Bank accounts of several Mumbai policemen hacked, Money withdrawn in Greece

Cybercriminals have reportedly targeted the Salary accounts of Mumbai Police and managed to withdraw money from their account.

A total of 29 Axis Bank accounts, including those of Mumbai police officials, have been hacked. Around 12-14 of these were held by policemen

A total of Rs. 13 lakh, in Euros, were withdrawn through ATMs in Greece from the 29 accounts, police said today.

The accounts were hacked during April and May, police said, adding that the Axis Bank had contacted Mumbai police and informed that they had set up a committee to probe the matter.

At this time, there is no further information about how much money has been withdrawn and how many policemen have been affected by this heist. - See more at: http://www.ehackingnews.com/2013/06/mumbai-police-salary-accounts-hacked.html#sthash.iaNjcgWF.dpuf
