A criminal gang has been targeting smartphone users by "shoulder-surfing" to steal their pin numbers and then stealing their devices. According to a gang leader interviewed on ITV's Good Morning Britain, the gang members are able to steal up to 20 smartphones each day and access their victims' bank accounts. The gang leader claimed that they can make £50,000 in just half an hour by watching a user enter their pin and then stealing their device. In one instance, it only took half an hour for the gang to gain access to a victim's banking apps and steal tens of thousands of pounds.
