It is one of the largest cyber heists in the history. The hackers targeted global financial system, they apparently used the Swift interbank messaging system to transfer cash into fake accounts in the Philippines but they were refrained from completing the target of $951 ($1 Billion), however they managed to get $81 million from the bank. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation claims that third suspect is apparently an insider with access to the computers at the Bangladesh central bank which played vital role in the heist, according to the people. However Bangladesh said they have found carelessness with the bank but it hasn’t yet discovered whether there was any criminal target. Earlier, it was revealed that the bank used low cost network switches which are available at just $10, which is a device to connect to the SWIFT network.
