Remember the online robbery at Bangladesh Bank; Despite countless attacks to companies and governments, and despite the ongoing data leak, it seems that some businesses just haven't taken the issue of online better safetys.
For those who do not remember or did not notice, Bangladesh Bank experienced an attempted robbery that would cost them 950.000.000 dollars.
According to a researcher looking at the hack, the bank used used network switches that cost 10 dollars, and did not have a reliable firewall, as it is broadcast today Reuters.
Network switches cost hundreds of dollars each, but the bank thought that with the $10 ones it could connect the bank's systems to the global network payments SWIFT.
Thus, by penetrating the bank's systems, hackers could automatically make money using the credentials that the bank used to connect to the SWIFT payment network.
According to the Reuters publication, the bank took care of her upgrade of the switches only after the hack is revealed.
So millions of dollars were successfully transferred to "invisible" accounts of hackers, and the robbery stopped due to a spelling mistake!
