A GYM HEIST IN LONDON GOES CYBER: LOCK AND CODE S03E22

Posted: October 24, 2022 by Malwarebytes Labs

This past summer, a woman's bag was stolen from her gym locker in London. Just
hours later, thousands of pounds had been drained from her bank.

A thief has been stalking London. 

This past summer, multiple women reported similar crimes to the police: While
working out at their local gyms, someone snuck into the locker rooms, busted
open their locks, stole their rucksacks and gym bags, and then, within hours,
purchased thousands of pounds of goods. Apple, Selfridges, Balenciaga,
Harrod's—the thief has expensive taste. 

At first blush, the crimes sound easy to explain: A thief stole credit cards and
used them in person at various stores before they could be caught. 

But for at least one victim, the story is more complex.  

In August, Charlotte Morgan had her bag stolen during an evening workout at her
local gym in Chiswick. The same pattern of high-price spending followed—the
thief spent nearly £3,000 at an Apple store in West London, another £1,000 at a
separate Apple store, and then almost £700 at Selfridges. But upon learning just
how much the thief had spent, Morgan realized something was wrong: She didn't
have that much money in her primary account. To access all of her funds, the
thief would have needed to make a transfer out of her savings account, which
would have required the use of her PIN. 

"[My PIN is] not something they could guess... So I thought 'That's
impossible,'" Morgan told the Lock and Code podcast. But, after several calls
with her bank and in discussions with some cybersecurity experts, she realized
there could be a serious flaw with her online banking app. "But the bank... what
they failed to mention is that every customer's PIN can actually be viewed on
the banking app once you logged in."

Today on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Charlotte
Morgan about what happened this past summer in London, what she did as she
learned about the increasing theft of her funds, and how one person could so
easily abuse her information. 

Tune in today to also learn about what you can do to help protect yourself from
this type of crime.
