quite scary if this is a security breach. I wonder if it's those APK apps that can control the phone etc that caused it. But then again, there should be faceID verification - this shouldnt happen in 1st place. And to add a favourite or transfer to a new account also need faceID if not mistaken, so there's many layers of protection. hope GXBank can update what happened to this issue cos this is serious

The fraud / scammer issue looks like using iOS/iPhone from the top navigation bar...I would expect iOS to be more secure than android since they dont allow random apps to be installed..unless its jailbroken device (to which I would expect GXBank to not allow jailbroken devices)...but again its very sus - how did the person manage to login and get access to teh account, increase the limit without proper authorization and transfer out to their own account.

She updates the progress in xhs as well. Just search Gxbank in 小红书 u can get to her thread.

QUOTE(ikanbilis @ Aug 4 2025, 04:00 PM) Debit card very common. I also kena from my HLB debit card. But that time my HLB account very little money so the overseas transaction didn’t go through. Hahaha GxBank debit card lagi worse. I read so many people kena fraudulent overseas transaction. Easy fix is to freeze your card when not in use. But this is a totally different fraud. No debit card is involved. They just take money from your account and transfer out. This is what i wish to highlight. i disable online and overseas by default and dont keep much in main account. but recently got someone reported their money all transfered out from pocket.

It is not because you swipe the debit card online, it is because the whole batch info for those debit cards were leaked. Maybe is insider job from the bank. I only put few hundreds in my debit card account. And I dont apply GXbank debit card. Credit card, you can always dispute the charges, so no worry.

Ever since I no longer use GXbank card to withdraw money, I kept the card frozen unless want to use buy something in foreign currency.

Need to spend time to talk to CS. Maybe safer to just use WISE card.

GxBank said the transaction was operated by the victim, but the victim said she was sleeping alone in her house. I think best way to verify is for Gxbank to publish the selfie taken, as withdrawal of RM15,000 definitely require a selfie to be taken.

Some interesting things I found in socmed... Very long post... So I put in spoiler 😔 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I'm sharing my perspective as a lawyer who has represented financial institutions in similar incidents. After such serious allegations, banks will most likely issue a cease and desist letter. The problem with writing long, emotional posts is that certain statements are bound to be defamatory in nature, which provides the bank's lawyers with the ammunition they need.
All banks in Malaysia are required to implement stringent security measures under BNM regulations. That's why nowadays most (if not all) banking apps cannot be used on rooted or jailbroken devices, and you need biometric verification to approve transactions above certain amounts. Biometric verification is much safer than OTP, which can be hijacked more easily through SIM swapping and other methods.
Some may ask: if biometric verification is so secure, how do such incidents still happen, especially with iPhone users (which many presume cannot be compromised - though this isn't 100% correct)? The criminals are very tech-savvy and masters of psychology, using social engineering to trick victims into clicking suspicious links, installing malicious applications, or compromising their devices without their knowledge.
Here's the reality about liability: if your device gets compromised due to your negligence, the bank is not and should not be liable for your losses. If you insist otherwise and the bank provides biometric verification (e.g., a photo of you approving the transaction), you'll be surprised that they can produce it - even though you don't recall doing so. Remember, the criminals tricked you and compromised your device.
I hope this brief insight helps people understand why going viral like this isn't advisable. Most importantly, be vigilant in protecting your device security.

Meaning their system not good enought well there's picture taken when limits increased (not sure about high amount transfer -i believe yes) so should be very easy to prove. I mean if the picture is the owner of the account then its likely scam.
