Biggest fraud in the name of investment in a company, fraudsters defrauded of Rs 2.5 crore

Online fraud is at its peak in India. Every day people are being defrauded in new ways. The latest case is from Mumbai where the search for an investor proved costly for a company. This search has caused a loss of Rs 2.5 crore to the company. A Mumbai health company was looking for an investor after which it came in contact with a Singapore company. A corporate communication manager from a Singapore company first spoke to a CA from a Mumbai company.

When the conversation progressed, the communication manager sent a web link giving complete details of the contract, but the truth was that it was a phishing attack. According to the report, a Singapore company named Khyber Venture was going to invest Rs 2.5 crore in a Mumbai health company. It is being claimed that Khyber Venture also deposited money in the cryptocurrency wallet of the Mumbai company.
 
A few days later, on June 18, the CA of the victim company received a message from an unknown number. It was told in the message that he was talking on behalf of Khyber. In the message the CA was asked to join a meeting. Two days after the meeting, CA received a message from a person named Jenny Kyber which also contained a web link.

After clicking on this link, malware was installed in CA's computer and after that the hackers got access to CA's computer and also got all the personal information of the company. After this the hacker transferred Rs 2.5 crore from CA's bank account.

The hacker has also withdrawn money from the cryptocurrency wallet. A complaint has been lodged with the Cyber Police in this regard and the matter is being investigated. Initial investigation says that the hacker has used Inferno Drainer tool. This software is used by scammers to steal cryptocurrency wallets.
