The Code That Could Empty Your Bank Account

As December approaches, people need to be more careful about the calls they receive and the information they share with others.

I remember a friend who shared her OTP with someone and later lost money. Her experience is a reminder that trusting the wrong person with confidential banking information can have serious consequences.

Your OTP, ATM PIN and banking passwords are private. Never disclose them to callers, even when they claim to be helping you. If you suspect that your banking information has been compromised, contact your bank immediately.
