Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers

Posted by Zonk on from the valuable-bits dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BBC News is reporting that the British police National High Tech Crime Unit has foiled an attempted fraud by hackers using keylogging software. The London branch of the Sumitomo Mitsui bank of Japan was the target, and a person has been arrested in Israel after being identified as the recipient of an attempted electronic transfer of UKP13.9m."

    Headline is misleading - it's the crackers that used keylogging software, not the police.
