E-banking Scams On the Rise

PETALING JAYA: Scams targeting electronic banking have increased drastically in the country, with the number more than doubling over the past year.

A total of 1,426 reports were made to CyberSecurity Malaysia last year compared with 634 in 2009.

Those who fell for these scams were usually new Internet banking account holders and those who lacked a general understanding of Internet security.

CyberSecurity Malaysia CEO Lt-Col (Rtd) Husin Jazri said the trap was to trick Internet banking account holders into revealing their online banking username and password.

He said the first step was to despatch e-mails to account holders informing them of a “hitch” in their accounts, and that they should immediately log in to the account to verify some information.

“They are then asked to click on a link in the e-mail, which leads the user to a fake website which is identical to an e-banking corporate website.

“These fake websites are also known as ‘phishing’ sites.

“The websites are used to mislead users into logging in by entering their usernames and passwords, which are immediately copied by the creator of the site.

“The cyber criminal can then log in and empty the users’ entire account in minutes if the amount is within the limit allowed to be transferred in a day,” he pointed out.

Lt-Col Husin attributed the rise in Internet banking scams to the increasing popularity of online banking among Malaysians.

He said CyberSecurity Malaysia had identified at least 900 unique phishing sites targeting financial institutions in the country, adding that it was quite easy for crooks to obtain personal information, usernames, passwords or credit card information through the phishing websites.

“Phishing or identity theft only happens when Internet users share their online banking information which is not meant to be shared in the first place,” he explained, stressing that it was crucial for e-banking users to be aware of online security measures.

CyberSecurity Malaysia is positioned as the national cyber security specialist under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, and operates the Cyber999TM Help Centre for local Internet users.

It also provides safety tips, advisories and specialised services in the fields of cyber security such as digital forensics and wireless security.

Lt-Col Husin advised users who received such e-mails to forward them to cyber999@cybersecurity.my.

Pecah Gril Pecah Tingkap

Dua minggu lepas kejadian pecah kereta terjadi kepada aku seperti di sini. Hari ni dorang dah makin advance pulak.. dah berani pecah rumah, kali ni terjadi kepada jiran aku. Kasihan, jiran aku tiada di rumah, masih beraya korban di kampung, rumah di sini pula menjadi korban penjenayah, maka raya sakanlah penjenayah tu.



Dalam bulatan adalah gril dan tingkap yang ditanggalkan

Rumah dipecah orang (sebenarnya setan yang bertopeng manusia) bila hanya disedari jam 7 malam tadi, gril dan cermin tingkap ditanggalkan. Diulangi, gril dan cermin tingkap ditanggalkan! Yang peliknya, saksi (jiran aku yang lain) nampak tingkap tu elok lagi jam 3 petang tadi, lepas tu dorang keluar, bila balik baru perasan tingkap ternganga, tapi kalau sekali pandang tak perasan sangat sebab masih ditutupi langsuir langsir.

Close shot, tingkap ternganga

Wow, maknanya dorang buat kerja antara jam 3 hingga 6 petang. Di siang hari? berani sungguh! Aku? Maaf aku tiada di rumah, keluar beli barang antara jam 11 hingga 5.30 petang. Mungkin dorang masih dalam rumah tu ketika aku sampai? Bayangkan, macam mana kalau rumah tu rumah aku? Dorang masih di dalam ketika aku sampai? Minta dijauhkan.

Polis sampai, orang pun dah ramai nak menonton

Setelah usaha menghubungi jiran tidak berhasil, maka polis dipanggil untuk membuat pemeriksaan, mana tau penjenayah masih dalam rumah. Negatif, dorang dah tiada di dalam. Polis tu cakap rumah dah diselongkar, tapi tak tau barang apa yang hilang. Kena tunggu jiran balik dari kampung untuk kepastian.

Polis nak buat serbuan, mana tau suspek masih di dalam

Pesanan terakhir, pertama, kalau tinggalkan rumah, pastikan lampu depan, belakang dan tepi dibuka untuk mengelakkan penjenayah senang buat kerja. Kedua, tinggalkan nombor telefon kita pada jiran untuk saat-saat kecemasan seperti ini. Ketiga, Jika ternampak kejadian jenayah atau mencurigakan, jangan segan silu hubungi pihak polis segera untuk bantuan.

Hati Retak dek Cermin Pecah



Ingatkan semalam lupa tutup

Kejadian berlaku semalam isnin 25/10/2010 Hanya disedari jam 6.45 pagi ketika bersiap nak berkursus. Menurut jiran kejadian berlaku lebih kurang jam 12 mlm. Jiran dah panggil tapi aku pengsan awal (tidur)

Dashboard diselongkar

Akibatnya aku terpaksa tangguh kursus dan mengurangkan cuti yang dah tinggal nyawa-nyawa ikan. Laporan polis telah dibuat dan cermin yang pecah telah diganti. Kos kerosakan & kehilangan harta benda bernilai RM700

Sampai part yasin dia henti selongkar

Kes pecah kereta memang banyak berlaku kat kawasan tu. Encik Polis cakap tiap-tiap hari pasti ada kes pecah kereta. Penjenayah ni biasanya buat projek time hujan waktu malam. Time kita syok diulit mimpi dan hujan melenyapkan bunyi

Kepada penjenayah, ingatlah, jenayah membawa padah. Daripada menyusahkan hidup orang, baik buat kerja halal. Suatu hari nanti, nasib engkau pulak yang kena. Kalau tak kena kat sini, tungguhlah balasan di sana
