The money was deducted because the man was withdrawing the money online. But the man said he never withdrew any money on certain dates as shown in the account records.

Detailed investigations found that the man’s friend, a student of computer programming, stole the money. The student used to get tickets for traffic violations but he did not have the money to pay the fines.

Since he was an expert in computer matters, the easiest way for him was to hack his friend’s online account and steal the money, Al-Madinah reported on Monday.
