2 arrested over hi-tech swindling

Our Correspondent, ctg
Rapid Action Battalion personnel arrested two young men in Chittagong Tuesday night in connection with hacking into a person's
emails, obtaining his bank account information, PIN, and transferring money online to their own account.
Ashfaq Hossain, 30, and Mohammad Suman, 26, were arrested at a house near the GEC intersection in the port city.
According to Rab-7, the duo on early March 25 logged into Anwar Hossain's Brae Bank account with the Khilkhet branch in Dhaka and transferred Tk 1.32 lakh to their account in the same bank.
The money was almost instantly withdrawn.
Chandgaon Rab camp in-charge Lt Com Mohammed Nurzzaman said, "Later, they transferred the money to their account in the same bank and withdrew it from an ATM booth in Chittagong."
Rab officials claimed that the arrestees were members of a seven-member hacker group, who break security measures of online banking systems.
The other members ofthe group were absconding while the leader fled to Dubai with the money, officials said.
However, Zeeshan Kingshuk Huq, head of corporate affairs of Brae Bank, told The Daily Star that Ashfaq and Suman had hacked into two emails of Anwar and got hold of his bank account information, and his Personal Identification Number (PIN) with the bank.
“No Brae Bank account was hacked...our system is secure," claimed Zeeshan.
He said following the incident around March 24 midnight, accounts of the victim and hackers were frozen. Brae Bank realised that the money transferred had been withdrawn almost immediately and hence they could not refund the money to Anwar.
Zeeshan said Brae Bank had lodged a complaint with the central bank asking it to take actions.
Victim Anwar, however, alleged that bank officials were involvement in the incident. “After the incident, the bank did not provide me the required support to get my money back. Later, I informed Rab of the matter,” said Anwar, adding that Bangladesh Bank had ordered Brae Bank to take initiatives to refund the money by the first week of last month.
The arrestees were handed over to Chandgaon Police Station and they would be sent to Khilkhet Police Station in Dhaka as Anwar had lodged the case with that station on March 28.
