BATU PAHAT: A company has suffered losses of RM1.9mil after hackers gained access to its bank account information and transferred the money to an unknown account.

Johor police chief Comm Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said they were told of the case on March 28 at 6.34pm after a 41-year-old woman, the company accountant, lodged a police report.

"This method enables the company to key in the name and account number of their suppliers and the amount they are supposed to pay. "However, on March 27, the accountant noticed there had been 10 transactions on March 24 to other accounts not related to the company," he said in a statement on Wednesday .

The case is being investigated under Section 4 of the Computer Crimes Act 1997 for unauthorised access with intent to commit a further offence, which carries a maximum fine of RM150,000 or 10 years imprisonment, or both.
