Perak police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the 55-year-old victim claimed that a clerk in his company in Gopeng received a WhatsApp message on May 8, allegedly from him, directing her to transfer RM30,000 from the company account to another account.
“On May 9, the clerk conducted another money transfer transaction totalling RM8,000 to a different account. According to Mohd Yusri, the complainant only realised his WhatsApp account had been hacked yesterday, while he was in Hat Yai, Thailand, when a friend contacted him, asking if he had financial problems, as the hackers had requested his contacts lend ‘him’ money.
“Upon checking, the complainant detected five money transfer transactions, totalling RM124,450, from his company account to three different accounts,” he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
