An outrageous financial security incident occurred at SinoPac Bank, and more than 100,000 yuan in online banking of more than 400 people disappeared out of thin air. At about 9 a.m. on the 3rd, some people reported on social platforms that they had received SMS deduction notices and were shocked to find that 100,000 yuan had been transferred from their accounts to the same Fubon Bank account. The Financial Supervisory Commission found 427 transfer abnormalities, affecting 419 customers, with an average loss of about 100,000 per person, and a total of more than 40 million, and almost all of them were men in Yunlin.
