A 34-year-old woman has been charged for allegedly hacking a bank account and stealing $3,200 from the victim.

Police say the woman allegedly obtained $3,200 from the victim through online bank transfer between March 29th and March 31st, 2023.

They say the victim clicked a link on Facebook, which led to his bank account being hacked, and the money was automatically transferred to the woman’s bank account.

Police say the woman withdrew the money and used it, after which the matter was reported to the Namaka Police Station.

She has been charged by the Fiji Police Cyber Task Force with two counts of obtaining financial advantage and one count of possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.
