Dubai: A Dubai-based woman reported a credit card hacking incident and was left shocked when she found out that it was her husband who used her card to pay his girlfriend s traffic fines.

After investigation, the woman who used the credit card was summoned. It turned out the credit card used to pay the fines belonged to the man’s wife.
