The procedure for this fraudulent activity was in a way that at first the gang hacked the targeted company’s email address and through it change all the details for the transactions. The details were changed to the criminal own accounts. There were four major suspects in case: S.K, K.S, D.S and G.D.

K.S was involved in receiving in all the money that was received through fraudulent activity. He received 7 seven percent of the total money gained by the gang. S.K share in the total money was 3 percent, his role in this activity was to provide the account details of the bank account in which all the stolen was needed to be transferred, both of these suspects were from Asian region.

Through S.K police came to know about the third suspect D.S who was from African region. D.S was a middle man who transferred the messages between the gang in Africa and second suspect.
