Hacked Mboweni gets his money back
Former Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni says the money stolen from his bank account which was hacked, has been returned.
According to Business Report, Mboweni took to Twitter to share the update.
The former Finance Minister said in a tweet, ‘My bank @StandardBankZA sorted that problem asap, sorted. No money lost. I am good. But these criminals!! Extraordinary!’
News broke at the weekend that about R19 000 was stolen from his bank account.
‘Somebody hacked into my cheque account and started taking money out. I noticed this around 7pm. My banking app informs me when there are transactions in my account. So there were transactions that had nothing to do with me,’ Mboweni told Sowetan Live.
He went on to say that the bank was investigating the incident and he did not see the need to open a case with the police.
