HampiK Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 So far I understood from news, that this only Mastercard ATM-Card/Debit Card or Credit cards are involved from different banks. Also from many different shops involved (Shoppee, lazada, Google Play, and many more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank staff were rude and not interested in even following it up. When I finally got through to the right person via phone I was told because it was over 120 days they couldn't do anything. I don't think so that was just round one Not good as BKK bank slogan is ..we are here to help wherever you are 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 That’s why after each withdrawal I always change my online banking both cash and card down to 10 baht it only takes a couple of minutes to do 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small withdrawals to prevent SMS alerts. Interesting... I hope someone can explain and hint at how to ensure it cannot happen again. I get sms notifications on any amount.

No problems with the phone app, just the net banking. It was as slow as a lazy dog first thing this morning, and timed out on me 4 or 5 times before I gave up.

Most mobiles have a comprehensive security model. Not perfect, but better than the patchwork to non existent security model on a (Windows) desktop. When someone has physical access to laptop/mobile all bets are off. Banking security is an interesting topic, banks have introduced extra levels of security over recent years beyond the pin, we have card readers - OTP messages etc which adds an extra layer, the weakness exposed in this topic is when you use a card for online or inshop purchases were you enter a pin to approve the payment - another weakness is the bank IT staff/empoyees Some on this thread have offered solutions like using a VPN to increase security - maybe they can explain how that works or adds value to this topic lol I do not trust Thai banks but hey that is just me, if the internal system security at a bank fails it is almost certainly an insider - if your pin is hacked at a POS terminal then the person at the retail outlet is very likely responsible Interesting fact - the ATM machine you use to withdraw cash uses a MS Windows OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If via the app, care to share how? the default for my card was disabled - I had to request it to be enabled, for Bangkok bank I believe a visit to your branch is required although I have never explored this or give them a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the government??!? I'm feeling very potentially raped. We all know if this occurs you'd get zero help from the bank as well and blame it in you. It's probably insiders not phishers or *hackers*. Another reason to leave. This is serious sh*+! Disagree with you as far as help from banks. A little while ago I had money taken from my KrungThai A/C by some one in the UK. Reported it to the bank HQ and the money was returned two weeks later. A bank branch is not the place to make a complaint in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm quite nervous about using my debit/credit card for online purchases. I have taken what I believe (maybe foolishly) steps to protect the bulk of my money. I have a Wise (formally transferwise) debit card which I load with sufficient funds for any online purchases I may be making. My thinking behind it is that at worse I'm only going to lose whatever is on the card at that moment in time. Granted its loaded from my bank account, hopefully the details of which will be out of reach to any ass wipe hacker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can not accept a cashless society ,as they are not ready for it concerning safety and re- imbursement in case of fraud , we can not whiteout internet or online banking , but sure not for all , with cash the control is in our own hands... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLeno Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It happened to me. Small amounts. Refunded already by the bank. My debit card issued by SCB was used to buy games on steam during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
