Abstract generation in progress

Australia's largest banks are sounding the alarm over a new wave of banking scams called “Jet Frog.” Millions of customers are having their money stolen through unauthorized withdrawals from their accounts.

What you need to know:

  • Scammers use test charges ( starting from $0.99 ) to validate card numbers, then make massive withdrawals.
  • Victims have reported pending transactions labeled “Jet Frog”, including debits of $0 (classic alert signal)
  • The scam first hit the United States and Europe in 2021, and it is now spreading to Australia.
  • Experts suspect brute force attacks using computing power to guess card numbers

To do immediately:

  • Check your bank statements for any suspicious transactions
  • Report any “Jet Frog” withdrawal to your bank without delay
  • Cancel or close the affected card
  • Monitor your account for any unusual activity in the coming weeks

Banks recommend increased vigilance and regular monitoring of account movements.
