When I checked my phone during a brief break, I saw multiple messages indicating that my credit card was being continuously swiped and that transactions were occurring per minute. I asked my wife, who happens to have an additional card, and she confirmed that it was with her. Thus, it was evident that the information was leaked, though we have no idea how it did so.
Arjun Bijlani also told the publication that he did not receive any OTP for the transactions. I never knew there is a procedure that you get an OTP before any credit card transaction is done. It has now left me asking how the transactions were possible on the bank without the supply of an OTP from me. It is a good thing that things are going digital but this is very scary because when it comes to personal safety everything has to be secured. It is so easy to scam people online and even with an OTP the person involved has the feeling that the transactions are safe” he added.
