This Tuesday (28), federal police officers are serving a preventive arrest warrant and three search and seizure warrants against suspects of fraud against Caixa. According to the Federal Police (PF), the criminal organization would have diverted more than R$ 4.5 million from bank accounts in November last year. Investigations began after the bank’s National Security Center passed information to the PF. The group allegedly obtained privileged access to Caixa’s digital social accounts, from which they stole the money, through technicians who provided IT services to branches in Greater Rio. According to the PF, these people took advantage of their transit and their credentials to obtain privileged access for restricted use. Thus, they obtained passwords and access profiles from other Caixa employees. With this information in hand, the criminal group improperly transferred amounts to digital accounts for social projects and made withdrawals. The PF identified the participation of a hacker who has already been involved in other cyber attacks on bank accounts. The warrants, issued by the 2nd Federal Court of Niterói, are being carried out in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Nova Iguaçu and Niterói.
