Hackers compromised the Swift software

Hackers who stole $ 81 million from the accounts of the Central Bank of Bangladesh may have cracked the software in SWIFT, which is the hub of the global financial system. This was reported by security experts of the British company BAE Systems.

In SWIFT confirm the presence of malicious programs aimed at the client software. And it is recommended that financial institutions that are customers of the system carefully check their security systems. In addition, the international system of financial telecommunications at the beginning of the week should issue an update, which will prevent the compromise of the system.

The company emphasizes that the virus did not affect either the SWIFT network or the messaging system. SWIFT is confident that updating the system will protect customers from the virus.
