extroveee:
Did you activate face verification and or OTP?

LordReed:
The app was likely reverse engineered to be a remote utility that's why his phone was misbehaving, the hacker had seized control via the app. And because he had logged in via the scam app the hacker had the OP's pass passcode or whatever he used to secure the app.

OP sorry for your loss.

Shedrack777:
I don't want to believe this is the complete story. you've not told us what type of app that you downloaded. I just want to believe that it's a loan credit app that you downloaded and you must have put some of your opay information in the app for them removing the money directly when the time is due for payment, that is why they are stealing your money you might not even have borrowed from the app the fac, you've put your details into the app

Treasure17:
You should have read this over and over again and be the judge man. And besides your story is not adding up. Something dodgy about this in a way trying to paint opay with a negative brush.

just2endowed:
The new hacker has to do face recognition, which will definitely fails. So this op is a liar or lookin for content.

ejimatic:
The download was successful
He has been operating the account already.In fact money has been kept in the account.It is not a an instant incident.Some period of times must have elapsed!


Phishing exists but I don't think it applies here.


I stand to be corrected

tosyne2much:
Cock and bull story everywhere

No screenshot at all to back up your claim

maasoap:
.

Instead of learning from someone's mistake and move on, make una wait until you become victims too. Though, some of you took it too personal which suggests that you are Opay employees, I get it.
But one lesson is clear here by the Op's admission: don't download apps from the third party websites but you all are getting too defensive

TossTos:
You better stand up , go Opebi straight their head office and go make in person complaint and don't bank on sending messages from your house .. and I think you've learnt your lesson from just downloading APKs , and I am very sure you're warned by the installation security on your phone , that the installation of the app is coming from an unknown source but you proceed .. go make Opebi Ikeja Opay office..

RealityKings1:
Was the app you downloaded a loan app? Did you download any loan?

EmekaBlue:
He is.. Opay that even have face verification and always alert if another person is trying to login to ur opay

eepeepook:
How much did the moderator collect to defame Opay? I can see his other accounts suddenly resurrect to back up the story.

Cheap Nairaland.

Offpoint1:
Lol, once you downloaded a compromise app into your phone, you've literally give the hacker full access to whatever you have on your phone.

The money did not dissappear immediately he downloaded the app do you know why? Because the hackers need enough data before attacking and that's exactly what the app on the phone will do.
The app is simply screen recording whatever he is doing on his phone from the background. He might have done transactions on his phone when the infested app was there and his Opay was captured.

Opay only send you OTP when you're logging in from a new device.

The transfer was done from his own phone because the hackers had remote access of his phone.

He literally gave access of his phone to the hackers when he downloaded their app.

daylay7:
Dont worry bros. The same will happen to you too and someone will say the same about you

daylay7:
DOnt worry. It will happen to you too and people will tell you same that your story is not adding up

daylay7:
Opay is aware of this issue. Just face front if u have nothing meaningful to say.

daylay7:
It was an app to watch TV all over the world. It has a blue background with a TV logo. I un-installed almost immediately but they already had control of my phone.

daylay7:
The issue here is not the app downloaded or... The issue is the money was transferred to a KUDA account which i believed had either a BVN or NIN. Cant the money be retrieved with that info?

GloriousGbola:
but a truly nefarious app, the kind shared at yahoo schools for script kiddies.

daylay7:
It will happen to you too and someone will ask you same question. Nigeria will happen to you. Dont worry.

daylay7:
I only know of palmpay office for opebi. where for Opebi opay dey?

daylay7:
With the security level on Opay, nobody can access it unless it was hacked. I dont know why somebody just want to say anything but nothing.

daylay7:
hhmmmm. But can the money be recovered since it was transferred to a KUDA account?

daylay7:
I am very sure you don't know what you are talking about. See, the whole situation made me to be under the weather. That was the reason i was not online to follow up the post. But you saying or making wrong allegations against me can definitely attract a law suit. I have nothing to explain to you if you can not advice or suggest ways to bring me out of this pedicament. Anyway, Nigeria will happen to you too and then you will come here like me.

daylay7:
You know nothing tru tru

daylay7:
It is not a corse pls. It is karma

Python25to30:
Okay na just remove the cos
Cos na u e go later affect
Na so my life b
U project negative to me it reroute to your reality

Goosethetruth:
Lol...
Guy you need to get a life. Apparently you have a twisted morbid desire to keep creating non substantiated threads all over the forum. I don't blame you. It is the moderator that moved the thread to the front page that I blame. Good luck in opening more inane threads all over Nairaland.com.

Goosethetruth:
I know you are trying to revive your DEAD thread but you failed to answer one of the questions about your unsubstantiated allegations against the bank in question.

Offpoint1:
The hackers might have spent all the money by now and there's 1000% possibility the Kudak account might be of a POS operator. Hackers will not transfer money directly to their own account knowing it will link back to them.

Recovering such money will be tracking the Kudak account and if it's a POS then it's a dead-end.

Unless its huge amount, the stress isn't worth it.

israelmao:
How then it is being hacked with its high level of insecurity?

TossTos:
From palmpay office it is just about 5minutes drive down to Opay office ..not that far from each other ..
