Bank Robbers use SWIFT exploit
 

Bankers drew a deep breath this morning after it was revealed that the hackers who nicked $81 million from the Bangladesh central bank probably hacked into software from the SWIFT financial platform that is at the heart of the global financial system.

Insecurity experts at BAE Systems had a look at the malware, which the thieves used to cover their tracks and delay discovery of the heist. The cyber criminals tried to make fraudulent transfers totaling $951 million from the Bangladesh central bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in February.
