How Hackers Can Transfer Money Out Of Your Bank Without OTPs

For starter, I have seen few Facebook post whereby a lot of cases whereby unauthorized transaction occurred from their online banking account.
I am a software developer for more than 12 years now and specializing in most of the technology which include web and mobile application.
Now, technology getting advance day by day and some people might use it for the bad intention.

You would saw a lot of promotion which provide you special discount or free “money” in either social media, game which required you to download an app to complete the transaction.

How to consider your phone security has been compromised?

Install Unknown Apps (Samsung S10)

Install Unknown Apps (Samsung) / Unknown source installations in the Setting.
This setting prevent the installation of malware.
If this setting is enabled, the installation can happen without your knowledge.
However, it also applies to anyone who downloads apps that are not available in their region or people who download pirated versions of video games and apps.
Make sure the authenticity of the apps.

Normally, when one downloads an app or an update from Google Play or App Store, the store automatically installs the application for them.
Most apps on Google Play and App Store go through some form of security check before they are readily available to users.
Direct downloading APKs from unofficial sources runs the risk of having malware on users’ devices.

After installing the APK (an app you download from an unofficial source, you maybe need to create an account or provide SMS permission to the app.
This allow the app to read and delete SMS that you receive.

Apps with SMS Permission

I have seen quite some news recently about how their money could have been transferred out without receiving any OTP notification.

Why?

The application already have SMS permission to read and delete SMS.
They read and delete them directly without you knowing it.
With this, they basically can do anything.
From changing your bank account phone number to transfer all the money out from your account. (Without a trace)

Here are some suggestion to avoid becoming victim of hackers:

  • Install application from unknown source with caution and don’t turn on “Unknown Source Installation” in Settings
  • Check the apps in your phone regularly and delete unused app immediately
  • Remember the security photo of your online banking accounts and if you don’t see the right photo, it is not the real online banking portal
  • If the page ask for both your username and password in your online banking account, it is also not the real online banking portal also
  • Remember to check which apps have permission to access your SMS and make sure you only allow this feature to apps you trust.

It’s nearly the end of the 2nd quarter of the year 2022.

I stumbled upon Logitech MX Master 3 and this mouse is a perfect replacement for MK720 as both can switch between PC plus it’s USB-C charging.
It’s a perfect time as My MK720 Triathlon Wireless Mouse from the Logitech MK850 Performance Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo has been malfunction a bit and it’s time to get a new mouse.

Next, my monitor has been in Full HD (1080p) for quite sometime and it’s time to upgrade to 4K resolutions.
Since I am working in Dell, why don’t I purchase monitor from Dell.
Hence, I found a perfect monitor with HDMI and Display Port and within my budget.

Windows 11 Is Here And Here’s How Users Can Get The Free Upgrade Now

Windows 11

Microsoft’s new and free operating system, Windows 11, is now being released.
Devices that are shipped out with Windows 10 will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 for free.
However, it is worth noting that this new operating system requires at least Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake or Zen 2 CPUs, Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage space.
This is the reason I upgraded my old PC to new PC few weeks back.

As Microsoft will be pacing themselves when it comes to the rollout of Windows 11, not all compatible existing PCs will be able to upgrade to the new operating system just yet.
The full rollout will be complete by mid-2022, when every eligible device will be offered the free upgrade.

To get that free upgrade to Windows 11 now, follow these simple steps:

1. Use Microsoft’s PC Health Check app to find out if your PC is supported.
2. Back up important files and data.
3. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to check for updates.
4. If Windows 11 is available for your PC, there will be an option to download and install it

There will be some who won’t see the option to download the operating system even though their PCs are supported. In that case, they can either wait for the option to become available, or manually download Windows 11 with one of the following options:

  • Windows 11 Installation Assistant
  • Windows 11 Installation Media (to make a bootable USB or DVD)
  • Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)

Rollercoin: Season Pass & #CYInDepth

Rollercoin Season 2: Dark Star

Rollercoin, I have been playing this game for nearly 6 months now.
You can just earn mining power by just playing the game at the website.
The more game you play and win, the more mining power you get.

Rollercoin introduce Season Pass 2 months ago.
Season Pass is well known to most of the gamers out there.
The pass is free and there will be extra rewards if we paid to upgrade.
Basically we complete quests and gain EXP to get rewards plus if we upgraded it, we gain extra rewards.

Rollercoin Season 2 1st few rewards

Currently, Rollercoin is in Season 2 right now.
As of now, 1st and 2nd season consist of different quests.
In my point of view, Season Pass for the current season is hard to achieve.
However, it is achievable as per the below Facebook post from Rollercoin.

As per the above post, we can get all the free rewards by end of the season.
Technically, you get free miner at the end of the season even though you no need to spend anything.
For me, it’s a big upgrade for Free-to-Play users out there.

CYLIM87's Miners

The picture above is just an update from my progress.
Basically, I bought the RollerMillion few months back which you could watch here.
Next would be the Season 1 Perfection series miners and some miners I bought when I just started the game.

I expected to get around 32 RLT in a month by using the Rollerbuddy from my previous post.

As seen from their recent update, they are very committed to the game by tackle bots issue and prepare a lot of interesting features coming in the next few months which you can refer here.

ROG & My New WorkStation

It’s been a while. 😂
The next generation of Windows is here.

As per my previous post, I just upgraded my graphic card few months back and bring some PC gaming life to my 10 year old PC.
Then, Windows 11 coming soon (which already released October 5th 2021) and the processor requirement for the new Windows quite high.
Hence, I change most of the hardware exclude the HDD, SDD and graphic card which I purchase beginning of this year.

Below is my updated PC specification:

Rollercoin: Block Reward / Network Power

Rollercoin

Mining Power, Network Power and Block Reward.
The 3 main feature inside the game that affect the rewards that we get in the game.

Rewards are calculated separately in each coin, based on the mining pool size.
Your rewards are calculated by the amount of power that you allocated in a single crypto VS the whole mining pool.
Below is the current mining pool of every coin in the game.

Rollercoin Mining Pool

So, I would just roughly calculate how much we will get from each block reward.
Let’s imagine that you have 400,000 Th/s and you split it equally between all coins.
It goes for 100,000 TH/s for a coin, equals 0.1 Eh/s.
The block reward in RLT is 30 RLT every 10 minutes.
That means that your reward in RLT will be 30 / (5,546 / 0.1) = 0.54 RLT every 10 minutes. Your reward in an hour just multiply it by 6 which is equivalent to 3.3 RLT with that amount of power.

With this, I won’t be splitting the power equally.
Due to the reward is divided among the Network Power, I would put more power to those mining pool with lesser power in order to get more rewards.
As usual, you could just split it equal between 4 coins.
It’s up to you to decide.
However, please bear in mind that you can only change the power split once every 12 hours.

Happy Mining everyone.
