SWIFT Discloses More Cyber Thefts, Pressures Banks On Security (reuters.com)
Jim Finkle, reporting for Reuters:SWIFT, the global financial messaging system, on Tuesday disclosed new hacking attacks on its member banks as it pressured them to comply with security procedures instituted after February's high-profile $81 million heist at Bangladesh Bank. In a private letter to clients, SWIFT said that new cyber-theft attempts -- some of them successful -- have surfaced since June, when it last updated customers on a string of attacks discovered after the attack on the Bangladesh central bank. "Customers' environments have been compromised, and subsequent attempts (were) made to send fraudulent payment instructions," according to a copy of the letter reviewed by Reuters. "The threat is persistent, adaptive and sophisticated - and it is here to stay." The disclosure suggests that cyber thieves may have ramped up their efforts following the Bangladesh Bank heist, and that they specifically targeted banks with lax security procedures for SWIFT-enabled transfers. The Brussels-based firm, a member-owned cooperative, indicated in Tuesday's letter that some victims in the new attacks lost money, but did not say how much was taken or how many of the attempted hacks succeeded.
Wait, the VICTIMS lost money? Because the BANK'S security was compromised???
WTF do you keep your money in a bank for if they're not making certain it's safe???
JFC, time to go back to buried coffee cans. It's not like you can earn interest worth a shit anymore in a bank account anyway.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
Just another day with clueless bankers...
The bank here is not taking responsibility for the funds in the accounts for which it is responsible for securing? If infrastructure was compromised and it was not a user-issue (meaning that the account holder didn't enable access via having had malware or similar) then the bank should take responsibility as a good business practice.
Anyone who hacks a bank is a sickening ANTI-SEMITE!
Banks are run by fucking jew rat bastards. If they take your cash don't be surprised because that's what they do. NEVER trust a kike. They are probably making up this whole hacking thing to use as an excuse to jew you even more than they already are.
Looks like someone has had enough with these banking breaches.

It's probably better just to put your federal reserve jewbucks under your mattress. I just don't understand how greedy those Christ killing bastards can be. For fuck's sake, they already issue all the money. Just print some more up.
Fucking kikes. Hitler was right.
Sorry I believe that the banks are being hacked about as much as I believe the Holohoax story. What these greedy jews are doing is taking your money and then telling you that the Russians did it. Don't let those conniving kikes take your federal reserve jewbucks without a fight! We have to stand up to these kikes!

That's the definition of "victim", isn't it?
If they were unaffected, they're not victims.
If banks wanted security the first thing that should be allowed is long or complex passwords. Yet many banks have severe restrictions on what characters can be used in passwords as well as insisting upon short passwords. So just why would financial institutions not have software that allowed characters as well as long passwords to be used? Imagine trying to crack }}}}}}}philandbillwentupthehill4444times.
