(Alliance News) - As stated in article in Starmag magazine, "after the scam against Poste Italiane account holders, accounts of scams on Nexi customers are increasing on the web. A text message extorts data and money from the unwary. And victims are suing the Italian PayTech directly."

The first hearing in a class action brought by a group of people scammed by hackers will be held in February.

The latest bait launched by cyber criminals," the magazine points out, "targets Nexi customers, an Italian PayTech company that offers services and infrastructure for digital payments, but in reality similar, more or less credible text messages bear the names of the most popular banks. And when the sender catches, by randomly shooting, a customer, that's it."

"It is surprising that the Italian PayTech, at least at the moment, says nothing either on the site" - Starmag's focus points out - "not even in the section devoted to online security, nor on social. Perhaps the class action against the digital payments company filed by a group of people defrauded by hackers will also be based on this. February will see the first hearing."
