What is the way to avoid such a huge hacking?
In such a large hacking, you and any of us can have information about the bank. The first task for you is to delete any payment wallet or shopping website on which your card is saved. Apart from this, change the PIN of your card immediately. Do not click on any link that came in the form of a message or email. Do not buy anything from an unknown website in the offer. Keep only limited money in the bank account of which you transact.
