US blames North Korea for the $81 million Bangladesh cyber heist

Hackers transferred funds to accounts in the Philippines through the SWIFT system in February 2016. The hackers tried to complete dozens of transfers for an overall amount of $850 million. The disaster was avoided by accident because the bank’s security systems and typos in some requests allowed the identification of the theft attempts, investigators discovered that hackers failed 35 transfer attempts.”]
