An anonymous group recently infiltrated the mobile phone system of Pegasus Technologies, the company that manages money transfer software and other financial services for major banks in Uganda. At least $ 3.2 million was stolen in the attack, but the exact amount could be much higher. Currently, two major mobile service providers, MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda, have disabled money transfer in their systems to investigate the issue. According to Charles Twine, a spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Department, authorities are investigating the attackers, the amount of money stolen and the methods they use to infiltrate the system. Please note that mobile financial services are very popular in Uganda, which they use for money when shopping or to pay bills for water and electricity. Use this service to borrow more money. For Cambodia, this mobile money transfer service is also very popular, so in order to protect the security of using this service, the Department of Technology Crimes would like to warn users to be careful, such as scams through comfort. Send a message or call claiming that you have won the prize, but pay for the service in advance.
Another scam is that scammers have already called in from the bank to confirm the account number or code for the prize, but this is just a scam to get the code and get into your account. To steal your money only.
