As hackers managed to steal some 80 million dollars from the Bangladesh Bank?

  

cyber attack which took place recently at the central bank of Bangladesh which allowed hackers to steal some 80 million dollars from bank accounts institutes in the Federal Bank was due to a malware is installed in the bank's computer system.

A few days ago, some alarmed at reports that an unknown group of hackers who managed to enter the central Bangladesh Bank, stole the data that was needed for the transfer of payments from the New York Federal Reserve Bank and then transferred large sums in the haunted grounds account in the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

The criminal group managed to steal a total of about 81 million dollars from the account of the Bangladesh Federal Reserve through a transaction ghost again, but a small typo prevented gigantic theft of $ 850 million. However, the question is:

As hackers could transfer $ 80 million without leaving any trace?

forensic research work by FireEye's Mandiant are helping Dhaka's investigators to investigate cyber theft.

Investigators believe that unknown hackers have installed some malware sh-types into the computer system of the central bank of Bangladesh weeks before the robbery and saw how to withdraw money from their account in the US, reports Reuters.

Although the malware type has not yet been identified, it is likely that he would have contained a spying program which showed the group how the money processed, sent and received.

Self-malware may have been a "remora Access Trojan" (RAT) or another spying of this form which has allowed hackers to take control of komandueshëm computer banks.

Investigators suspect that hackers could exploit the flaw to be "zero-day" since they are not recognized even by locals.

After that, hackers have been able to steal the Bangladesh Bank data for SWIFT communication system, which is the financial system more secure communication which is used by banks around the world to communicate with each other.

"SWIFT and the Central Bank of Bangladesh are working together to re-election this operational international affairs at the central bank," Belgian SWIFT said in a statement Friday. "Basic Service SWIFT communications were not affected by this issue, and continued work normally."

Security experts hope that the champion malware will be available for research and soon security so they can determine if the sample was truly advanced, or the protection of the Central Bank of Bangladesh security was not strong enough to prevent the attack.

Bank of Bangladesh revealed many weaknesses in their system, which could take years to fix these issues even though the Federal bank has refused any compromise on its system.
