All this activity is not being done within a day.

Bankers precisely will never send email which will require as confidential banking details, banker will never compromise security thing with any mail service may be you are using Gmail, Ymail or AOL, either they will call the account holder personally or they will post mail to the holder to come bank and provide the required details, but some people are not so aware regarding the truth, nowadays Phishing method is more favourable method for hackers to gain anything under control, with this method hacker can control a smartphone, the email account, other accounts related to email, the bank details also.

Now attacker received his bank details after that the fork send him an SMS which lead to open the backdoor malware breach into the vulnerability. Soon after malware got downloaded the hacker got full control over the smartphone and after the victim sleep he gently makes the smartphone silent and made a transaction (unnoticed)”. he said
