Mobile phone hacked...

64 lakhs!!

That's a life time income for some. Feeling sorry for them if that was the case.

They can find who made adverse comments on the rulers in few hours but no not possible if someone ripped you off  of your lifetime earnings.

Important note : don't install unknown app Or apps you really don't need and always switch off your mobile phone at night time...

Have you installed any apps from outside the play store?

Nokia ke 2 4g volte  basic mobile liye mene to last 2 month me

Less likely that apps downloaded from playstore are culprits. See if the accessibility service is enabled for any app/service

PS: No hacker can do anything without an active internet connection. So turning off router and removing sim is the first thing that needs to be done, followed by a system reset before activating data again

Stop installing garbage apps.. the apps themselves dont have to be scammy, but a lot of them are poorly designed and have vulnerabilities. 

Also, which version of Android are you on? Android has been requiring manual approval for most permissions for a couple of years now.. never give any non major app any permissions.. especially if they seem non essential. 

For many TalkBack turned on make such nuisance

By any chance you have any loan apps that offer personal loans? Complaints of them stealing data is seen everywhere in the online consumer forums

Don't install any unknown apps also use firefox with ublock origin for browsing on mobile to prevent any drive by download attack from ads. Don't use any app that have ads.

Same happened with me I am using poco when I keep it for charging it keeps doing annoying thing like opening massages email gallery phone contact n google search etc..

I have seen that some manufactures installs crappy apps as part of software update.

Which are as annoying as hell.

I saw one old uncle getting frustrated due to semi nude notifications and which are not able to clear. Culprit was some preinstalled system service in his phone which was of "INFINIX"

Similarly Realme/Redmi/Poco and lower /mid range Samsung also do .

So in short whenever purchasing a budget device, disable notifications from most of the inbuilt crappy services.

Definitely not the whole story because no retail internet banking of any bank I know allow transferring more than 20 lakh in a day without specially enabling it by manually submitting application & even then rarely a bank branch approves more than 50 lakh limit for any retail internet banking acc.

@smz

I wonder how 64lakhs gone in one go.i don't think banks allow to transfer huge amounts without adding a beneficiary

No

Losing money of that magnitude is possible either by

(1) sim swap and taking time to procure new SIM without realising fraudulent transactions have been initiated thru fraudsters SIM

OR

(2) Installing screen sharing/remote access Apps (disguised as utility apps) unknowingly thru links received from unknown sources.

Most high value online scams reported have used either of the above methods. 

Scams of Rs. 50 lakhs and above in saving accounts have occurred only because of delay in realising the fraudulent transactions. In most such cases, transactions have been done in 2-3 days, the time taken in getting a new SIM and it's activation. 

Another incident also happened in my near by circle 2 months back... A family have 10 lakh money in an account which was got from selling farming land...

So his son installed an app which is related to rummy circle... He played for se 10,000 but gone... And send day he got sms with link to fill form regarding winning 50,000 ... He filled and after filling he got otp and in 20-22 minutes he got amount debuted message from bank.... He enquired about that amount and found 9 lakh gone.... So police investigation done and found fraud in the name of winning huge money from rummy circle... But nothing got recovered till date...

Fraudulent links to hacking apps come disguised as known gaming apps, banking apps, kyc Google forms etc, and people enter sensitive details like passwords and OTPs here.

See my above post, it is not possible to transfer even more than 20 lakh via retail internet banking in a day without submitting form in local home branch asking for enhanced daily txn limit approval & have yet to see a person/acc with typical retail internet banking having more than 50 lakh daily limit. Such large amt txns only possible via corp internet banking & current account. Of course if a person couldn't even realize deduction of 10-20 lakh in 24 hours then that person shouldn't keep any money in any bank under his acc in the first place & give it to some relative for keeping it in the bank.

@rajarew

My toh phone become slow and battery also discharge  fast from when i started  using desidime.

I won't say my phone got hacked but this was surely a surprise.

I was sitting and the phone was lying near to me (redmi note 5 pro) and out of no where it started ringing (alarm tune) , it was an alarm 6:30pm, i stopped that alarm, i was wondering i never set that, so i check in my alarms(clock) history, 5-6 pre set alarms were there (not active) like 5,9,12 etc but no alarm was there for 6:30.

I was surprised what was that, no history in alarm, no reminder was there in the calender.

So that was a strange thing (it happened 2 days ago)

Ghost touch most probably.

Happens while charging the phone.

It sometimes used to happen in my poco f1 as well.

I dont understand how come these scammers are able to transfer 50 lakh, 64 lakh?

Yahan to pehle beneficiary add karna hota hai.

And even after adding beneficiary there is a cooling period of 24 hours in which only a specified max amount can be transfered.

O baapre baap.. 2 bajne waale hein. Main toh sone jaa raha mobile band karke

That's why I prefer not downloading apps which give you free bonus money or products and avoid signing up on websites for 10-20rs.

Then also firsts 24 hours max transfer is 20-50k
