CYBER crime is on the rise and the public must be vigilant when they receive e-mails asking them to bank money into some given account or receive messages via Facebook requesting a loan.
A furniture company director in Kajang, who only wanted to be identified as Cheong, said she only realised that her company’s account was hacked into when she was notified by one of her customers recently.
“My client received an e-mail stating that my company had problems with our bank account. My client was told to bank into another account soon or we would have to stop production.
Warning: Cheong hopes to spread the word about hackers who hack into company’s e-mail accounts and con customers into giving them money. Warning: Cheong hopes to spread the word about hackers who hack into company’s e-mail accounts and con customers into giving them money.
“Thankfully, we were able to stop the transaction in time. Besides the e-mail, our clients also received calls from a person claiming to be our employee, asking them to pay up fast,” she said.
The hacker also hacked into her company’s Facebook account, requesting loans from clients.
“When I checked the Facebook page, many chat windows popped up. The hackers were chatting with a few of my clients simultaneously,” Cheong said at a press conference at Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) councillor Eddie Ng’s service centre.
Cheong has since put up a notice and e-mailed her clients, warning them about the scam.
She, however, did not call every one of them as there were too many.
Cheong said most of the business transactions were conducted via e-mails and that her customers did not suspect anything amiss.
She also lamented that she was made to run from pillar to post when she wanted to make a police report.
“I went to the Kajang IPD but was told to go to the branch in Bandar Teknologi Kajang as my company is situated there.
“I have also filed a report with the CyberSecurity Malaysia an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry but have yet to receive a reply,” she said.

(雪蘭莪‧加影1日訊)無拉港利豐工業區10間工廠在前日凌晨時分,先後遭一批手持巴冷刀的蒙面匪徒闖入,致傷2人,並搶走至少數十萬令吉的財物!
被闖入的工廠位於利豐工業區第7區的某圍籬工廠區,裡頭共有12間工廠,包括機械工廠、飼料廠、貨倉、鋁廠及食品廠,其中2間工廠在事發時有逾10名夜班員工上班。

翻牆入制伏保安員
12間工廠合資聘請保安員24小時駐守,卻還是成為凶悍匪徒的目標。被爆竊的10間工廠目前已有4間報案,2間因損失不大決定不報案,其餘則表示將會報案。
劫案發生在7月29日凌晨約3時至清晨約7時,匪徒都是年齡介於20至30多歲的印裔男子,約有5、6人,他們幹案時蒙著面、穿外套及戴手套,每人手持長巴冷刀。
據瞭解,匪徒是從工廠區的圍牆後方跳入工廠範圍,當時工廠有2名保安人員在門口駐守,其中一人聽到狗吠聲後,就前往視察情況,卻半途遭匪徒制伏。
匪徒過後前往保安亭,用刀抵著另一名保安人員的頸項後,以繩子將兩人捆綁及勒令2人不准叫喊,並詢問工廠內有多少夜班員工,接著就將保安帶入工廠範圍。

捆綁夜班員工大肆搜索
匪徒闖入有夜班員工的工廠,以巴冷刀將眾人製伏及捆綁後,就前往其他工廠搜找值錢物品,如電腦、鋁及機械零件,臨走前還駕走2輛羅里,惟其中一輛羅里在事後被找回。
據悉,一名外勞員工因惹怒匪徒,被匪徒以巴冷刀砍傷頭部,過程被廠內電眼攝錄下來;另一名保安公司的職員在事發時碰巧前往工廠區,也遭匪徒致傷面部。
匪徒在清晨約7時離開,保安人員及員工才自行鬆綁,並聯絡各自廠主及將傷者送入院。

10廠被劫歷來最嚴重
公會促警方正視
已有28年歷史的利豐工業區,首次在一夜之間多達10間工廠被洗劫,匪徒更致傷手無寸鐵的員工,令廠主、商家及工商會感到震驚及憤怒!
據瞭解,該工業區雖然有時會發生罪案,情況卻不太嚴重,所以日前匪徒闖10工廠事件,已成為歷年來最為嚴重的案件。
無拉港中華工商總會主席歐陽羱瑱指出,工廠是國家經濟來源之一,廠家及商家應該在安全及安心的環境下作生意,他希望此事能提醒警方加強防備,並警惕無拉港5個工業區的廠家提高防範措施,自我保護。
他也希望當局能加重對於罪犯的刑罰。
利豐工業區工商業公會主席劉海雁指出,此事件令眾人憤怒不已,人心惶惶,無拉港區的多個工商業公會都對此事非常關注,並希望警方早日破案。
出席記者會的公會也包括陳明再也工商業公會及蕉賴再也工商業公會。

黃田志:警應認真檢討
關注工業區治安
加影市議員黃田志促請警方多關注無拉港區,特別是工業區的治安問題,內政部也應認真檢討如何打擊罪案,而非只喊口號或展示數據,指罪案率下降。
“受害者不報案,大部份是因為對警方失去信心及認為報案沒有用,才讓警方誤以為罪案率下降。"他將致函芙蓉警區主任,希望警方加強巡邏,改善當地治安,他也勸請任何大小罪案的受害者,都務必向警方報案。
他披露,雪州各市議會於2010年成立城市安全小組,加影市議會每年就獲得150萬令吉撥款,用來增設路燈、行人道圍欄及路口安全鏡等,以改善治安。
他說,州政府也另外撥款,在加影市議會範圍內的罪案黑區設立60台電眼及2間控制室,其中一間由市議會執法組監督,另一間設在芙蓉警局裡。
“城市安全小組每3個月開一次會,根據警方提供的資料來決定安置電眼地點。利豐工業區是其中一個黑區,所以路口設有一台電眼,洗劫案的工廠附近則沒有電眼。"他呼吁受害者向警方報案,讓該小組也能向警方爭取增加安全措施。
出席者包括加影市議員黎濰裮及李森梅。

丘茂龍(機械工程工廠廠主):工業區近年劫案不多
我在7月29日早上約7時45分接到員工來電,指工廠被爆竊,我在8時15分抵達工廠時,警方已在其他工廠調查。
我工廠的門鎖被破壞,辦公室內非常凌亂,2台電腦、機械零件、1輛羅里及一些現金被盜,損失約10萬令吉。
工廠在4年前曾被竊匪潛入,當時沒有損失;工業區近兩三年的打劫案不多。

李毅峰(機械廠經理):將增加防盜鈴裝電眼
工廠在2個月前才搬到此處,還沒有安裝保安措施就遭人闖入,公司之後會增加防盜鈴及安裝電眼。
工廠沒有遭遇損失,卻被匪徒翻箱倒柜,一片凌亂,廠內的起重機也被匪徒駕駛到其中一間鋁廠,相信是用來搬運鋁廠內的物品。

KAJANG - Sebuah kilang di kawasan Perindustrian Selesa Jaya, Balakong, di sini dipecah masuk Ahad lalu, menyebabkan lebih tiga pemilik premis yang beroperasi di dalam kawasan kilang tersebut mengalami kerugian.

Difahamkan, kilang tersebut menempatkan 12 premis kilang kecil yang menjalankan perusahaan aluminium, kejuruteraan dan proses makanan sejuk beku dimana 10 daripadanya dipecah masuk.

Seorang pemilik premis, Lee Yih Feng, 34, berkata, premisnya menjalankan kerja kejuruteraan malah baru dua bulan menyewa di dalam kawasan kilang berkenaan.

Menurutnya, ketika kejadian kira-kira jam 9 pagi, dia menerima panggilan daripada pekerja memaklumkan kilang mereka dipecah masuk.

“Saya segera ke kilang dan memeriksa kawasan namun tiada barang yang hilang kerana tiada barang bernilai di kawasan kilang berikutan kami hanya menjalankan operasi pengeluaran sahaja di sini.

“Namun jentera forklift kami dialihkan dan dijumpai di kilang berdekatan mungkin digunakan penyamun untuk mengangkut barang dari kilang berdekatan,” katanya.

Seorang lagi pemilik premis, Hee Meow Loong, 41, berkata, seorang pekerja asing di kilang berdekatan turut dicederakan penyamun menggunakan parang berdasarkan rakaman kamera litar tertutup (CCTV).

“Berdasarkan rakaman, lebih enam penyamun yang memecah masuk premis bersenjatakan parang malah bertindak menetak seorang pekerja, namun mujur dia hanya mengalami cedera ringan.

“Saya telah lima tahun menjalankan perindustrian kejuruteraan di kawasan kilang ini dan ini kali pertama kes besar dihadapi berlaku,” katanya.
Meow Loong berkata, dia mengalami kerugian sekitar RM100,000 apabila wang asing lebih RM10,000 dikebas, lori syarikat, sistem CCTV, buku cek persendirian dan syarikat, pasport dan dua komputer riba dilarikan perompak.

“Ketika kejadian itu juga, sistem penggera dipotong dan pengawal turut diikat,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Kajang, Asisten Komisioner Ab Rashid Ab Wahab mengesahkan menerima laporan tersebut dan siasatan lanjut sedang dijalankan.
