Zimbabwe computer hacker takes $70k from OK Zim

Posted on January 16, 2017 by Dissent

So Zimbabwe hackers wear hoodies, too, it seems. Oh well….. 

ZimNews reports:

A 33-year-old Chitungwiza based computer hacker Isaiah Marange managed to hack into OK Zimbabwe’s Money Wave System and got away with $70,000.

He was remanded to February 14 on $300 bail.

Prosecuting, Mr Sebastian Mutizirwa alleged that on Christmas Day last year, Marange opened a Money Wave account at OK Mart with an initial deposit of $5 using the name Kundai Liberty Musamba.

It is the State’s case that on Boxing Day, Marange hacked the OK Zimbabwe Money Wave System and fictitiously credited $35 000 into his account purporting to have used OK Queensdale till number 5, when in actual fact no physical cash was deposited into the account.
