Instead, a third group appears to have performed this operation-a group that may or may not be related to the Sony hackers. But according to forensic evidence and the movements of this group in the Bangladesh Bank's network, the group behind that malware doesn't appear to be responsible for stealing Bangladesh Bank's money. There is evidence that three different hacking groups were in Bangladesh Bank's network, one of which has possible connections to the Sony hack, due to the shared use of malware. But according to someone familiar with the Bangladesh Bank investigation who spoke with Bloomberg, this malware wasn't used in the actual heist. Malware found on Bangladesh Bank's system shares similarities to some of the malware found in the Sony hack, which the US government attributed to North Korea. "The question is how many other incidents were there that we don’t know about? These kinds of banks don’t like advertisements of this kind " "We were told cybersecurity is so good you cannot do that. Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed and How to Stop It, says she and others warned lawmakers on Capitol Hill several years ago that hacking SWIFT or the Federal Reserve would be ideal ways for terrorist groups to bypass TFFO monitoring. and our allies to identify and locate operatives and their financiers, chart terrorist networks, and help keep money out of their hands." But if hackers could so easily subvert systems at SWIFT endpoints as they did in Bangladesh Bank's heist, they could conceivably do the same thing to initiate money transfers that feed terrorism groups or countries whose bank account funds are frozen by international sanctions. The so-called Terrorist Finance Tracking Program has, according to the government, "allowed the U.S. The US government relies on SWIFT transaction records to alert it to suspicious money transfers that could be related to terrorism financing. The incidents also raise integrity issues about the trustworthiness of SWIFT reporting. By targeting the methods that member banks use to conduct transactions over the SWIFT network, the hackers undermine a system that until now had been viewed as stalwart. Even if the hackers didn't compromise the SWIFT network itself, such that all of SWIFT banks were vulnerable, it's still bad news for the global banking process.
