Indian Call Center Employees Hack US Bank Accounts

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the easy-money dept.

The Ascended One writes "Call center employees working for an Indian software company, MSource, supposedly used confidential client information to transfer client funds to themselves. The alleged perpetrators used the personal information of four NY-based clients to transfer ~$350,000 (Rs. 1.5 crores) in their names, a large sum in Indian currency. They were caught after the victims alerted the bank officials in the US, who then traced the crime to the Indian city of Pune. While the name of the bank has not been revealed, the article indicates that the bank in question is Citibank."

    Possibly because it makes no sense to compare not lending money to a person with a proven bad record of giving it back, with using employees from one of the fastest developing countries in the world.
