Swift Hack Probe Expands to Up to a Dozen Banks Beyond Bangladesh

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Dissent

Michael Riley and Alan Katz report:

Investigators are examining possible computer breaches at as many as 12 banks linked to Swift’s global payments network that have irregularities similar to those in the theft of $81 million from the Bangladesh central bank, according to a person familiar with the probe.

FireEye, the security firm hired by the Bangladesh bank, has been contacted by the other banks, most of which are in Southeast Asia, because of signs that hackers may have breached their networks, the person said.
