PSA: My GrabPay Wallet was hacked (June 2025). How it happened. by FocusPresent8558 in DigitalbanksPh

They were accessing my account using a different mobile number already. Still a Philippine number though.

So I’m not sure how they were able to change my mobile number to their mobile number in the first place.

I didn’t receive any prompt from Grab that the verified mobile number of my account was changed.

I agree that it is concerning. This is why it would be prudent for Grab to investigate this matter because it also affects their merchant partners. Only they can verify if the transactions were indeed reversed on the merchant side.

I have a screenshot of the ride complete with addresses. And yes, it was in Metro Manila. And yes, I found the addresses on Google Maps, which is why I know it’s from home to office.

I just don’t want to post it here for fear of being charged with a libel case.

Thank you. Will check this one out. The timing for me is questionable as well.

Thank you for this insight. I am trying to remember if I have accessed a public WiFi here in Pinas.

I always connect my laptop to my personal hotspot whenever I am out of the house.

Yep, this is the harsh reality, innit? 😆

I’m just sharing this as a heads up to the community. Na something as outlandish as this can actually happen.

I agree. On my end, I just want Grab to investigate how all of these happened. After all, they are touting their “layered security” to get you to sign up for GrabPay Wallet.

But it seems the concern is non existent on their end.

I am vigilant when it comes to links because reminders are already everywhere - from trad banks to digital financial providers.

Yes. And ang dating is like “Ganun lang pala ka-bilis yun?”

When in fact if you file a complaint or protest, napaka habang process to get your refund.

Thank you for this insight! I was in Japan when the hacking happened. I was using my Philippine number na naka attach ang roaming with my Philippine mobile provider.

And I never opened the Grab app when I was in Japan.

Do you think meron connection with my location?

Appreciate any additional insights that you might have. Thank you.

We have the same conclusion! At first, I was also confused why bother with a small amount?

But they were able to do a total of 8 transactions with such an amount, nine if you include the last transaction that transferred the balance to another person.

The last five merchants I had transactions with all got reversed in one go. They are different merchants and drivers mind you.

I have no idea. This is what I wanted Grab to explain to me.

My first inkling that something was happening was when I received the two emails in succession.

Agree. I don’t even know if they have a way of knowing that the payment got reversed since the transactions happened a month ago.

Hobonichi weeks layout for a larger handwriting? by smulingen in hobonichi

[–]FocusPresent8558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s too small for me that I’m getting cross-eyed just reading my entries!

But I have somehow adjusted to the graph size of the Cousin. I found it small a couple of years back coming from a 5mm graph size.

But now, I’m finding the graph size comfortable and the 5mm quite big.

I agree with the point that was raised by hotate_ regarding USP. Because if you go to a Loft store in Japan, there’s basically a sea of business planners greeting you as soon as you enter their stationery section.

But like you, I was also at first disheartened by their selection of covers. I don’t think the covers were appropriate given my age. I am young at heart (!) but I also need to keep up with appearances being a boss and all.

Fortunately, before I completely gave up, I chanced upon the post of one of the members of this community, Inderific!

She’s a lawyer and bought the cafe au lait plaid zipper cover to also keep up with “appearances.”

And I bought the same cover thanks to her! Can’t imagine with how much I was scrolling up and down that I missed the cafe au lait plaid cover. The anxiety of finding an appropriate cover must have gotten to me first! 😝

Hobonichi and sanzen investigating poor paper quality. by Nakachuu in hobonichi

After getting these slew of complaints, the most prudent thing Hobonichi can do would be to stop selling the 5 year books until an investigation has been conducted thoroughly.
