Hackers steal £650m
More than £650m has gone missing from banks around the world in what is thought to be the biggest ever ‘cybercrime’.
Hackers are thought to have stolen £650m from bank accounts across the world in an extraordinary heist that may have cost British banks tens of millions of pounds.
A gang of Russian-based hackers used computer viruses to infect networks in more than 100 financial institutions worldwide. They infiltrated banks’ internal computer systems using “malware” which fed financial information back to the gang.
