Notice about Commercial Bank Fraud on Transfers?

[Tansak KTV]

Anyone get a notice about suspension of direct fund transfers due to some internet banking service fraud??? Got a strange email from KBank that I don't think is spam notifying me that they are suspending direct fund transfers to accounts not registered already... No notice from TMB yet so I'm kind of wondering.

 

I'm more interested in know what the fraud was as they stated only that "Due to the recent news of fraud on internet banking service of a commercial bank, of which detailed information is not yet available, and for security reasons, we are obliged ot take precautionary measure blah blah blah..... "

 

And no.. no link button or reply or etc... it was just an straight notification... wasn't spam that I can tell...

I have received the same notification from Kasikornbank, it tallied with all previous correspondence from them and was confirmed by telephone contact but refused any more details.

I am really curious about this new news. I have an account there. I get my paycheck automatically sent there, plus I transfer my rent through the ATM. I will head to the bank as soon as I get off work to find out the scoop.

So (reading the referenced article) they snagged 100,000,000 Baht (about US$3M) under ther supervision of some Russian guy.

Safe to assume, I think, that they aren't the only two in his employ.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but when/if they track down the Russian guy I reckon there will be funds sufficient that we never hear of it.

I also received from KK, as i understood out of it , it is temporary measure, and does not affect registered (?) account transactions from before, only new ones should be on hold until they take security measures ..... my understanding out it
