Earlier on 25 July, authorities at Shwapno lodged a complaint with the Tejgaon Shilpa Anchal Police Station stating that a hacking ring has been actively publishing fake offers using their name and logo to lure unsuspecting people into a hacking and spamming scheme.
Swapno Chief Operating Officer Mahadi Faisal said the hacking ring also forged fake Shwapno gift vouchers and used them to obtain products from the shop.
Upon looking into product sales logs, they found an anomaly in their accounts and noticed the circulation of the fake offers. Then they took legal action against the hackers.
