Tanvir Hassan Zoha, a 34-year-old security researcher, went missing after accusing Bangladeshi central bank officials of negligence, which facilitated a theft over $ 81 million.
5 2016 February, hackers gained access to Bangladesh's central bank accounts at the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York and tried to steal 1 billion dollars. Their attempt to transfer money stopped by a simple typographical error, but they had already been able to distribute 81 million dollars.
Κατά την έρευνα που ακολούθησε, οι ερευνητές ασφάλειας διαπίστωσαν την ύπαρξη ενός malware και ενός ελαττωματικού εκτυπωτή, και την ίδια στιγμή δήλωσαν ότι τα στελέχη της κεντρικής τράπεζας του Μπαγκλαντές δεν ακολουθούσαν τις διαδικασίες ασφαλείας. Έτσι ο διοικητής της τράπεζας και two deputy commanders, had to leave the work after the scandal.
Zoha's family members said the researcher met with a friend at 23:30 pm on Wednesday, March 16th. When they returned to home they were stopped and put in two different cars.
Friend Zoha was abandoned some time later somewhere in the city (Dhaka) and turned his home to 02: 00 am, the next day. He then contacted the Zoha family, who informed him that the security researcher had not returned to his home.
Meanwhile, media reports have outraged the people of Bangladesh, who are already annoyed by the fact that government officials nearly nearly lose 1 a billion dollars out of their money.
