Money Vanishes Without OTP in Haldwani Cyber Fraud Case
A cyber fraud victim in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, reportedly lost over ₹2.5 lakh from multiple bank accounts and credit cards without clicking any suspicious link or sharing an OTP. The incident has raised concerns about advanced cybercrime techniques targeting digital banking users.


According to reports, unauthorized transactions were carried out across SBI and Axis Bank accounts over multiple days. While some OTP and transaction alerts were received after the fraud occurred, several bank account withdrawals reportedly happened without timely notifications, allowing cybercriminals to continue siphoning funds.
Cybersecurity experts warn that threats such as SIM swap fraud, device cloning, malware infections, and account compromise can sometimes bypass traditional security measures. The case highlights the importance of monitoring account activity, enabling security alerts, and reporting suspicious transactions immediately to banks and cybercrime authorities.
