"The former MasterChef contestant, Dani Venn, and her husband Chris Burgess were left homeless last week when $250,000 from the settlement of her recently sold Melbourne property was stolen by hackers who set up third party accounts to breach the fledgling electronic property transfer system Property Exchange Australia (PEXA).
Ms Venn’s bank, the Commonwealth Bank, was able to freeze $138,000 of the funds, but the hackers who entered the system via her conveyancer’s account made off with the remainder.
“The $110,000 is missing and it’s not recoverable,” she said."
Wow
PEXA flat out stole $110K from a random civilian to cover for their own negligence. And face zero consequences for it because they are a state-approved monopoly.
