Thieves Stole a Brazilian Creator Tabata’s iPhone in Traffic and Somehow Accessed Her Bank Account

Brazilian car content creator Tabata was stuck in traffic when a thief suddenly attacked her and stole her iPhone. The entire thing happened in just one second.
It took Tabata a few moments to process what had happened before she broke down crying.
But the strangest part wasn't the phone being stolen.
The thieves somehow managed to make a bank transfer from her account, even though they supposedly didn't know her password, have access to her Face ID, or know her bank transfer password.

She later reported the incident to the police. who were able to recover the iPhone.

That’s pretty normal in Brazil specially when you’re dumb enough to make yourself such an easy target

I thought most of the cars there had insane bulletproof glass? Yet her car's glass easily shatters for some reason.

Bulletproofing is really expensive and definitely not common. It’d probably cost more than the car itself. Usually only really rich people can afford to do it

The average monthly salary in Brazil is $640 US and you think everyone is driving around with bulletproof windows?

robbers usually use a small metal spike in their hand, thats why glass shattered so easily. this happens literally everyday here
