Not sure if this is the correct place to hold this discussion.

Recently, so many case of money has been transferred out from the owner’s bank account to someone they don’t know and they claim that they have no idea why such thing happens.

Some of the examples are not scams it sounds like magic, by answering a call/ messages, their money get transferred out without their consent.

Another case claim that, all his monies get transferred to U mobile without receiving any OTP or authentication.

I know lowyat has a lot of experts in various field, so would like heard all the opinions from the professionals.

Is there something wrong in our banking system, or its just something fishy on the claim made by those victims.

Btw, should exclude those phishing links emails app etc, all these common ways to retrieve sensitive information, as i have described above those cases happens recently sounds like magic not scams.

Come share your thoughts…

Affin secure is a dedicated app just for transaction approval only. Can't do other banking transactions.

This Affin secure apps will receives secured information from Affin sent to registered phone numbers..

If the scammer managed to "hijack" the phone number....???
Just like example this recent s'pore ocbc case?

Why some OCBC customers in SMS scams did not get OTPs

Why does an SMS appear to be from OCBC when it isn't?
Why do banks use SMS if they are unsecure?

Affin Secure is a digital token that only works on an authorized mobile device. You can approve transaction without the SIM being inserted in the phone.

I am not sure how Affin secure works.
But if no need sim in phone,... How Affin knows that the apps in authorised device?
Will it be like the device that downloaded the apps will then act like those physical token that does not need sim?

Also, does one need to carry the non sim inserted device along with the normal sim card inserted device to do online transaction?

Will it be like carry a normal sim card inserted smartphone to do the transaction together with those secure token (individual tac generating device)?
I am currently using the secure token from pbb,... Yes you are correct to mention that it has some inconveniences.
