Former Natwest Bank clerk jailed for helping fraudsters

A former NatWest Bank clerk has been sentenced to four years in jail for helping fraudsters to gain access to the Bank computers in an attempt to steal over £1 million.

A former NatWest Bank clerk has been sentenced to four years in jail for helping fraudsters to gain access to the Bank computers in an attempt to steal over £1 million.

Hans Patterson-Mensah, 24 year old, allowed fraudsters to enter into customer interview room at one of Natwest Branches in Sep. 2012.

The fraudsters managed to install KVM("keyboard, video and mouse) switch into a computer.  The device gave the criminal access to the bank's internal system.

The criminals managed to change some records to make it look like the target person has deposited £1m in their account.  The crooks then withdraw money from that account.

However, Bank staff spotted that something was amiss when they conducted an end-of-day audit.  They managed to recover most of the money(£6,000).
