Remember the online robbery at Bangladesh Bank? Despite countless attacks on Companies and governments and despite the ongoing data leak, it seems that some businesses just haven't taken online security seriously. 
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 an investigator investigating the hack, the bank used used ones network switches that cost 10 dollars, and it did not have a reliable firewall, as it broadcasts today Reuters.
Network switches cost hundreds of dollars each, but the bank considered that with those $ 10 they could connect the bank's systems to the global network SWIFT payments.
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 Reuters, the bank took care of upgrading the switches only after the hack was unveiled.
So millions of dollars were successfully transferred to "invisible" accounts of hackers, and the robbery stopped due to a spelling mistake!
