Gang that invaded company bank accounts is the target of a Civil Police operation in three states

The investigations began after a dispatch office in Sorocaba became a victim of fraud. According to the Civil Police, the scam worked in stages: Fake phone call: the criminal called pretending to be a bank employee and warned about an alleged suspicious movement in the company's account; Malicious link: the victim was tricked into clicking on a link to install a program on the computer; Account hacking: the virus captured passwords and allowed scammers remote access, who carried out unauthorized transfers. After breaking into the system, the gang quickly transferred the amounts to several fake accounts to make it difficult for authorities to track the money. During the investigation, the police identified those responsible for operating the system and laundering the money. Three men were arrested in Cubatão and Praia Grande. The fourth person investigated, identified as the main recipient of the embezzled money, was not found and is considered a fugitive. Police officers also seized documents and equipment during the operation. The material collected will be analyzed to identify other possible members of the group. The action also carried out search and seizure warrants in five cities in three states. Reproduction/DEIC Sorocaba
