An app may be stealing your bank data, RBI warns digital, UPI users
Digital security concerns have assumed greater importance amid the Modi government's efforts to steer India towards a less-cash, digital economy
BS Web Team | New Delhi Last Updated at February 18, 2019 14:51 IST

Digital security concerns have assumed a greater importance amid the Narendra Modi government's efforts to steer India towards a less-cash, digital economy.
What is 'AnyDesk'?
‘Anydesk’ is a remote control application. It works to connect one device to another.
How can the fraud wipe out a customer's bank balance?
The method is simple.
— First, fraudsters get bank customers to download the app (AnyDesk).
— Through a nine-digit code generated on the customers' device, hackers get remote access to their mobile.
— After inserting the app code on the device, the hacker asks customers to grant certain permissions, which are similar to what is required while using other apps.
— Once they gain access to the mobile phone, hackers can carry out transactions fraudulently through any mobile banking app or payment-related apps, including UPI or wallets.
What must you do in case your mobile is hacked?
RBI's warning on 'AnyDesk' calls for attention amid a rising volume of UPI transactions and digital banking. According to a Business Standard report, digital payments saw a spike after demonetisation. According to a report by the Reserve Bank of India, a total of 2,059 cases of cyber fraud were reported in 2017-18 amounting to Rs 109.6 crore. The number of cyber fraud cases in 2016-17 was 1,372 amounting to Rs 42.3 crore. A spike in cyber frauds is bigger than most other types of bank frauds. A total of 5,917 bank frauds were reported in 2017-18 and nearly a third of these were cyber frauds. UPI, Narendra Modi government's flagship payments platform, crossed the Rs 1 trillion milestone for monthly value in December 2018. NPCI attributed UPI’s success to three main features — simplicity, seamlessness and security. However, chinks in the UPI system began to show soon after it was introduced.

- Regularly change and do not share your password/PIN

RBI spots fraud that wipes out a customer's bank balance via UPI, alarm sounded
Fraudsters get victims to download the AnyDesk app, which gives them remote access to the mobile. After that, all your OTPs are theirs too.

RBI office.
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India has warned banks of an emerging digital banking fraud that can wipe out a customer’s bank balance by using the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) route.
The modus operandi is simple: fraudsters get victims to download an app called AnyDesk. Hackers get remote access to the mobile through a nine-digit code generated on the victim’s device. “Once a fraudster inserts this app code on his device, he will ask the victim to grant certain permissions, which are similar to what are required while using other apps,” RBI said in an advisory.
This enables the imposter to gain access to the victim’s device and carry out transaction fraudulently. The modus operandi, according to RBI, can be used to carry out transactions through any mobile banking app or payment-related apps, including UPI or wallets.
The central bank has sent an advisory to all commercial banks as the magnitude of the threat could well jeopardise thousands of crores of rupees in the accounts of retail customers, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told ET Magazine.
“We have already started issuing alerts to our customers as the regulator has expressed concern over such new ways of digital frauds,” said a senior bank executive, who did not wish to be identified. This is also relevant to customers transacting on various e-commerce platforms, the person added.

Security will always be a headache, as long as mobile phones are being used to authenticate transactions. Be it SIM cloning or fooling people to share OTP or apps like these. Fraud would only grow, until security becomes a serious enough concern for banks.

Chinese shoppers adopt facial payments

But concerns over privacy remain.
No cash, no cards, no wallet, and no smartphones: China’s shoppers are increasingly purchasing goods with just a turn of their heads as the country embraces facial payment technology.
China’s mobile payment infrastructure is one of the most advanced in the world, but the new systems — which require only face recognition — being rolled out nationwide could make even QR codes seem old-fashioned.
Customers simply make a purchase by posing in front of point-of-sale (POS) machines equipped with cameras, after linking an image of their face to a digital payment system or bank account.
“I don’t even have to bring a mobile phone with me, I can go out and do shopping without taking anything,” says Bo Hu, chief information officer of Wedome bakery, which uses facial payment machines across hundreds of stores.
The software is already widely used, often to monitor citizens — it has been credited with nabbing jaywalkers and catching criminals.
But authorities have come under fire for using it to crack down and monitor dissent, particularly in China’s surveillance-heavy region of Xinjiang.
“There’s a big risk... that the state could use this data for their own purposes, such as surveillance, monitoring, the tracking of political dissidents, social and information control, ethnic profiling, as in the case with Uighurs in Xinjiang, and even predictive policing,” says Adam Ni, China researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney.
Ecommerce push
Despite the concerns over data security and privacy, consumers seem unperturbed as facial recognition payment hits the high streets. Alipay — the financial arm of ecommerce giant Alibaba — has been leading the charge in China with devices already in 100 cities.
The firm is predicting enormous growth in the sector and recently launched an upgrade of its “Smile-to-Pay” system, using a machine roughly the size of an iPad. Tencent, which runs the WeChat app with 600 million users, unveiled its new facial payment machine called “Frog Pro” last month.

Actually Cashless transaction is new and innovative idea.
There are many options now a days like Phone Pay and Google Pay are available. There is a only drawback it won't work at some times rather than that those are really a good features. It's comparatively easier than using cards and online banking. It's much secure too.

Man duped of Rs 96,000 while paying power bill via Google Pay
The accused conman had updated his coordinates as the Google Pay customer care number to dupe unsuspecting users
Moneycontrol News@moneycontrolcom
Representational Image
A resident of Mumbai’s suburbs, who works for a private firm, was duped of Rs 96,000 while paying his electricity bill via popular online transaction application Google Pay. Andheri police are on now looking for the online scamster who duped the 31-year-old of the huge sum of money.
According to an Indian Express report, the accused conman had updated his coordinates as the Google Pay customer care number to dupe unsuspecting users of the mobile phone application.
Police said the plaintiff was trying to pay his electricity bill using Google Pay on August 21 when some error occurred during the transaction. To get this resolved, he had looked up Google Pay’s customer care number on the internet and called it up. However, the number he tumbled upon was, in reality, the coordinates of the fraudster who had updated his number as the digital wallet’s customer care number.
A police officer said: “The cyber fraudster, who had updated his own number as the customer care of the digital wallet platform, posed as an official from Google Pay and told the victim that it was a common issue being faced by many users and would be resolved in minutes. The accused then sent a collect request to the victim and asked him to click on it. But the moment he did so, Rs 96,000 got siphoned off his account.”

He further said that though they might have received just one complaint, that does not erase the possibilities of this man conning several others in a similar manner.
