Cyber police recover bizman’s 4.6 crore lost in SIM swap fraud – ET CISO

The ‘1930’ cyber helpline managed to secure Rs 4.65 crore out of Rs 7.6 crore that a business family lost to a SIM swap fraud recently. The family, comprising a man and his two sons, hail from Kandivli and run a steel trading business. On Dec 23, the complainants were informed by relatives that their mobile phones were not reachable, even though they were switched on. The complainants visited the mobile service provider’s outlet and were told that their SIM cards were converted into e-SIMs.

They were advised to check their bank accounts and learnt that Rs 7.5 crore was transferred out of their company’s current accounts. An FIR was registered with cyber police. The helpline managed to get some bank accounts frozen and secured Rs 4.65 crore. Police said phishing links are often used to gather target’s financial information. Fake identification is then used to block target’s SIM card and get a new e-SIM. Due to this, the target does not get bank OTPs as they are sent to the new e-SIM and accessed by scammers to transfer money from victim’s account.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
