Cybercriminals hacked into the Mumbai-based current account of the RPG Group of companies and stole Rs 2.4 crore within 3 hours on May 11, Times of India reported.

The TOI report says money has been transferred to 13 different bank accounts in Chennai, Coimbatore,Tirunelveli, Bangalore,Hyderabad and other places.

The bank blocked those accounts but the gang have already managed to withdraw some funds.

The police has arrested three members of the crew who came to withdraw the money in Coimbatore and Hyderabad.

It appears the Company fell victim when the company officials opened the malware attached mail sent by the gang.  The gang then probably harvested the bank login credentials using the malware.

Earlier this year, cyber criminals stole Rs 1 crore in Mulund from the current account of a cosmetics company.

Once the malware infect a system, it gets commands from remote C&C Server to log into Facebook accounts and collects the information including Zynga Poker Stats and Number of payment methods (i.e. credit cards) saved in the Facebook account.


The Trojan publish phishing link in the victims' wall in order to compromise more Facebook accounts credentials.

The Cybercriminals seemed to have ceased actively spreading the Trojan mid-February 2012. Israeli CERT and law enforcement have been notified and an investigation has been launched. Facebook has also been notified and has taken preventive measures to thwart future attacks on the hijacked accounts.
