Hacker steals thousands from Kiwi victims using complex scamSTUFFA Tauranga schoolteacher has been duped into helping overseas hackers steal thousands of dollars from a Golden Bay couple. He notified police who tracked the bank account to the unwitting schoolteacher in Tauranga, he said. Police also said Lamb and Pearson weren't the only victims and the "continued activity" going in-and-out of the woman's bank account appeared to continue until she was investigated. Another Golden Bay couple almost had $17,000 stolen recently, when a hacker intercepted invoices sent to their Gmail account. "Fortunately, it was a corporate client who got back to us to check because they have a security system in place for when bank account numbers gets changed by email."
