With the rise in trading frauds, several traders complained about fraudulent trading in their accounts. After the proceedings, Mumbai Police Cyber Arm Broke the story on 19th July, 2022 regarding the scams that are happening over the past few months.

According to a tweet from the Mumbai Police, the North Region Cyber Police Station captured four men on charges of involvement in fraudulent activities.

A lawsuit was filed where a retired government employee's portfolio worth Rs 1.46 crore was conned with the exchange of a single OTP.

It was then discovered that the hackers called from the web-based application as if they were regular callers from stock broking and requested an OTP for KYC update which was a social engineering attack. Once the hacker obtains the OTP, they get access to your account and in many cases, replace your fundamentally good securities in the portfolio with penny stocks and sell your shares.
