Bank accounts of deported expats threatened with hacking

  • 05/10/2023

Banks are currently examining a procedural mechanism through which they can identify the names of expatriate workers who are deported from the country, in an effort to secure their banking systems from attempts to exploit the accounts of deportees in financial fraud operations. 

The sources indicated that there are about 30,000 bank accounts (almost the number of expatriates deported from Kuwait since the beginning of the year) that pose security risks to the financial system, as they are theoretically under the radar of fraudsters.
