Mumbai cops salary accounts hacked
In a particularly bold move, hackers reportedly targeted the salary accounts of Mumbai police personnel with many of them complaining that unauthorised transactions have been made from their bank accounts.
According to a CNN-IBN report, the Mumbai Police is still trying to ascertain the scale of the incident and the number of accounts of its personnel that have been hacked into.

The accounts were all reportedly with Axis Bank and the worried cops have asked them for a report on the incident. The police are also likely to file an FIR.
The money from the accounts was reportedly withdrawn from ATMs abroad, though which country is not known presently.
The police has also formed a team headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police to probe how the unauthorised access took place.
