JEYPORE: Cybercriminals have siphoned off Rs 8.97 lakh from the account of a 47-year-old cancer patient of Jeypore by using a malicious link.
Sadananda Samantaray, a teacher of Turudiput village under Jeypore block, had saved the amount for his cancer treatment. On Sunday evening, he received a WhatsApp message asking him to download an APK file for RTO challan. An unsuspecting Sadananda clicked on the link and reportedly lost all the money from his account in HDFC bank’s Tankua branch.
