Account recovery via compromised email is a chain, not a single ‘hack’ word.

Net-banking fraud is often narrated as one event — “the account was hacked.” The case file needs the chain instead: SIM reissue, mailbox compromise, recovery flow, password reset, device enrolment, then the transfer. Each link has its own logs and its own attribution fight. Prove the sequence and causation follows. Skip a link and the “hack” story weakens.

Not one hack.

A chain of failures.
