Au Jia Hao, who also goes by Ou Jiahao, 39, was jailed for 10 weeks on Jan 3, after he pleaded guilty to one charge of unauthorised access to computer material. Au illegally accessed the banking details of 369 OCBC customers over eight months, from Nov 8, 2022, to July 31, 2023. The court heard he was employed as an assistant vice-president of OCBC's Global Commercial Banking division on Oct 12, 2022, and was given access to OCBC's banking system as part of his job scope. But he soon began to abuse his access by pulling up the names, NRIC numbers, dates of birth, addresses, contact numbers, account balances, and education and employment histories of profiles he had no business looking at. He did not disclose the information to any third party, and claimed to have illegally accessed the information out of curiosity and stress from work.
