Circumstances aggravating the act are:

“Wireless fraud can be committed in a variety of ways. For example, during phishing, an attacker creates a fake bank website that is very similar to the official resource. The victim, who does not suspect deception, enters his plastic card details, password and login in the appropriate fields. The information obtained allows criminals to easily withdraw money from the victim’s accounts. The use of skimmers and even fake ATMs is also common, with the help of which attackers find out the PIN code and card number.”
