The Financial Crimes Unit has announced the thwarting of a systematic phishing and bank hacking operation and the recovery of approximately 33,000 Libyan dinars, which were returned to their rightful owners.
In a statement, the unit explained that it received a complaint from a citizen regarding a fraud case. Investigations were launched, revealing a criminal method involving the creation of a fake Facebook page impersonating a Libyan commercial bank to lure victims and steal their data.
Digital tracking revealed that the perpetrators had infiltrated the accounts of other citizens, collected the stolen funds, and transferred them through a money transfer office to conceal their source and facilitate their laundering.
The unit clarified that it had completely contained this operation, emphasizing that these actions constitute fully-fledged criminal offenses of financial fraud and impersonation.
