A major digital banking fraud has been uncovered in Lahore, where the personal data of more than 170 customers of a private bank was allegedly leaked and used to target wealthy account holders.
According to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the suspects identified wealthy customers through the bank’s system and changed their addresses before applying for new ATM cards in their names.
The suspects allegedly conducted surveillance outside the customers’ homes and collected the new ATM cards from delivery personnel.
They later withdrew a total of Rs15 million from the accounts of five customers.
The FIA arrested a three-member gang in connection with the fraud. Those arrested include a private bank official and a woman.
According to authorities, the suspects obtained customers’ data through the bank’s internal system and specifically targeted high-net-worth individuals.
Further investigation into the case is under way.
