My CC oso kena hijack b4. Called DBS immediately when i started receiving some strange OTP. Within 10 mins, hijackers made 5k worth of online transactions. DBS cancel the card immediately and I was not held liable for any of the fraudulent transactions.  [thumbsup]  [thumbsup]

 

Disappointed to read that UOB doesn't do the same and still shift blame to the customer.  [:|]

Does Android keeps CC info on the phone? If it does, that's dangerous. At least Apple keeps it on iTunes and if kenna hacked, it is Apple's responsibility.

Yes, I like to know if the OTP is sent to you, how the hackers get the OTP?

the OTP sms is auto forward to the hacker from your phone?

But money has been spent, who is footing the bill? One party was careless, the other is a service provider. Unless can prove that the service provider's security was vulnerable and the hacker hack thru their security and stole the customer data.

AUSTRALIAN HACKERS apparently have hijacked Apple's Find My iPhone feature, enabling them to hold iOS and Mac device owners to ransom.

iPhone, iPad and Mac users have taken to Apple's support forum to complain about the hacking, in which hackers use the Find My iPhone feature to remotely lock users' devices and send messages demanding money.

One user wrote, "I went to check my phone and there was a message on the screen (it's still there) saying that my device(s) had been hacked by 'Oleg Pliss' and he/she/they demanded $100 USD/EUR (sent by paypal to lock404(at)hotmail.com) to return them to me."

this is old news?  

 

Apple acknowledges Find My iPhone exploit, urges users to change passwords

Says it was a standard 'ID hack'

In this instance, the OTP went through. i.e. the hackers where able to read the OTP code sent to the victim's hp through SMS and complete the OTP authentication. 

 

From your description, it seems like OTP was sent but you didn't responded to the OTP request by calling the bank to flag the suspicious activity. The bank immediately terminated the card and hence the OTP was not successful. 

 

From the bank's perspective, if the OTP went through, then they have no way to determine if the OTP was done by the victim himself or the hackers. Hence the bank rejected victim's payment dispute.

a few years back, I thought donno issit association of banks say as long as it is not customer fault and that customer report promptly, fraud is limited to $100 or something like that?

UOB sucks balls la. last time my cc kena hijack ... used in spain to book hotel room etc and spent a few hundred euro. i had already notified  them a week ago when i receive 2 mysterious otp sms ... and when i reported this, at first they told me i am liable, i was like wtf ... im in sg, and just few days ago i informed you there may be something suspicious? 

 

they said they will hold me liable for the full amount regardless, until they can verify it wasnt me who spent the money (even when i say i can show my passport).

 

long story short, these idiots refunded my money after 3 months ... when i how they come to that conclusion i wasnt there, they say confidential, cannot say.

 

thank god i made dbs my primary bank after that.

Sometime in early Sept last year... there was a large cheque deposit in my personal UOB account. I couldn't for the life of me figure out the source of this amount.

 

Any commissions I was expecting? Nope...

Wife running own business... maybe from there? Nope...

Maybe Dad! Yes... he must have hit 4D finally!? ummm... nope...

 

I should have called UOB but totally forgot about it... until they called me a couple of weeks back;

 

"Umm... sir... please sir... do you by chance... ummm... recall any unexpected deposits..."

 

I should have told them yes, thank you for the gift... I spent it all. But stupid me only blurted out "so it was from you lot" and how I had racked my head trying to figure it out and please go ahead and deduct the sum from my account  :a-bang:
