A few months ago, one of the biggest online robberies with a smooth 81 million dollar was made to his bank Bangladesh. The hackers managed to breach the Security for Worldwide Interbank Telecommunication (SWIFT) security system by transferring money outside the bank to other accounts.
Immediately after the robbery that took place in February through SWIFT, others followed. SWIFT officials have blamed Bangladeshi bank for loose security and threatened to stop supporting banks that are not improving their defenses.
Despite the warning, as mentioned above, the attackers managed to "raise" 10 million dollars from Ukraine in June and August.
Nowadays, Reuters reports that some of Bangladesh's robbery money was found at a casino in the Philippines.
A Philippine court ruled in September that this money belongs to the bank of Bangladesh.
These funds were handed over by the operator of the Eastern Hawaii Leisure Company casino and the manager of Kim Wong.
Kim Wong said the money came from two Chinese high-rollers.
Philippine Ambassador to the Philippines, John Gomes, told Reuters that he would be spending more money:
"Now that the process for this $ 10 million issue is more or less complete, we will go for the rest."
