There are important cyber security lessons to be learned from the attempted $1bn heist from the Bangladesh central bank in February 2016, says a threat expert.
The attackers used five steps in a heist that would have netted $951 in total if it had been successful, Adrian Nish, head of cyber threat intelligence at BAE Systems told the Wired Security conference.
The first step took place in May 2015 when the attackers set up banking accounts in the Philippines and Sri Lanka to facilitate the money transfers.
