The number of online thefts from bank accounts is increasing rapidly in Japan.
About 360 million yen was stolen in January-July in 398 such cases, the National Police Agency said in a preliminary report Friday. Both the number and the amount stolen are already more than the previous record high of 307.86 million yen in 165 cases in 2011.
The amount stolen was 93 million yen in 108 cases in June and 149.2 million yen in 180 cases in July.
The number of cases reported in July alone exceeds the total number of cases reported in 2011.
