Some hackers had hacked the twitter account of the Bank of Melbourne to spread phishing links to the bank’s followers. If we look at some cyber crimes in recent days, we will see that the social media accounts are the primary tagets of the hackers.
Bank customers first found out about the hit after a tweet was posted right after the attack began.
“ATTN: Unauthorised DMs sent bw 4-5pm today, do not click link. No customer/personal data compromised. Apologies for the inconvenience. ^TT “
Dancho Danchev believes that this is not the act of an amateur.
“Judging by the fact that the malicious attackers didn’t just spread a prank or hacktivist message using the stolen credentials, it is highly likely that the attacker has a relatively advanced understanding of how the cybercrime ecosystem works,“ he revealed.
After some times the account was back. But this type of attacks can be a loss to users. Cyber crimes on peak this year. This year will always be known for hacking
