Hackers steal 2 billion rubles at Russia’s central bank

“The central bank did not say when the heist occurred or how hackers moved the funds. But so far, the attack bears some similarity to a recent string of heists that has targeted the worldwide financial system.  In January 2015, hackers got a hold of an Ecuadorian bank’s codes for using SWIFT, the worldwide interbank communication network that settles transactions. In October, hackers used the same technique to slip into a bank in the Philippines.  Two months later, hackers tried to make fraudulent requests at a commercial bank in Vietnam. They were stopped.  This past February, computer hackers stole $101 million from Bangladesh’s central bank — also by gaining access to SWIFT.”
