Experts Smell the Uncertainty Behind the Loss of Rp. 135 Million BCA Customers

On social media, Twitter, and Instagram, PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) customer money suddenly disappeared up to Rp 135 million. BCA has explained, but cyber security experts are still questioning it.

As reported, the Twitter account @heb*st* said that if there was a withdrawal transaction and money transfer to another account. Even though the debit card he owned was in Bandung.

BCA will replace 100% of the customer's money on behalf of Hebbie Agus Kurnia. "That information has been sorted out, it has been skimmed from the results of our investigation, not the customer's fault. Yes, if it wasn't for the customer's fault or negligence, we would replace it 100%," Cybersecurity expert from Vaccines.com, Alfons Tanuwijaya, considered that the conclusion that skimming had occurred raises questions. That's because as of January 1, 2022, according to a BI circular, all ATM cards must have chips, no longer magnetic. He said chip-based cards are almost impossible to be skimmed.

"It is technically impossible for a chip card to be skimmed, if you want to clone you can, but if an outside bank wants to clone it will require an enormous amount of money. It can be much more expensive than the money you get. The tool is also almost impossible to obtain as easily as a magnetic card cloning tool. ," 

"So there are 2 possibilities here. First, the stubborn bank does not follow the BISE, so there is an ATM card that is still magnetic and can be skimmed," he explained.

"The second possibility is that all the cards have chipped, then actually what happened was not skimming and there were leaks from other sectors that were not disclosed by the bank. This must be explained by the bank," continued Alfons.

On the other hand, Alfons appreciates that BCA is willing to replace all lost customer money. According to him, it is true that people are calm and are not afraid to save money and use ATMs.

"But the truth must be disclosed transparently so that it can be a lesson," he concluded.
