EFCC Nabs 3 For Hacking Into Banks Database by Nobody: 2:28pm On Sep 03, 2014
LAGOS — The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, yesterday said it has
uncovered a three-man syndicate
who specialised in hacking into
data base of banks and other
financial institutions.
Spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson
Uwujaren, who gave the identities
of the suspects as Ola Lawal,
Olumide Kayode and Abass
Adekunle, said they met their
waterloo when they attempted to
compromise the data base of
Enterprise Bank Plc and steal
depositors’ funds using an
electronic device known as Keelog
Key Grabber.
Wilson disclosed that their arrest
was made possible by an insider
who revealed to the bank’s
management that some fraudsters
were planning to gain access to
its network, using the Keelog Key
Grabber device.
He said a staff of the bank was
contacted by one of the suspects,
who proposed a business
arrangement to him on how to
hack into the bank’s system. The
staff subsequently informed the
management of the bank and he
was instructed to play along.
According him, “they agreed that
the Keelog Key Grabber device
would be used to harvest
passwords of some of the key
operation staff of the bank. The
grabber was meant to be plugged
into the computer system of the
Head of OperationS of a particular
branch to retrieve information
technology configuration settings
from the computer system and
pave the way for the fraudsters to
move customers’ funds out of the
bank.”
Wilson further explained that
Lawal was arrested while trying to
hand over the Keelog Key Grabber
to the staff. His arrest led to the
arrest of two other suspects,
Olumide Kayode Maborukoje and
Abass Ajibade.
“Items recovered from them
include a keylogger, a laptop, a
router, a modem, sim cards, USB
keyhole log with a template of
keylogger and a jotter containing
some account numbers which they
intended to use for the fraud.
