The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), law offices in Los Angeles and New York have led an international investigation into the February 2016 robbery, where they allege that North Korea Stole this large some of US dollars.

 

Hackers breached Bangladesh Bank’s system and used the Swift messaging network, to request nearly 1 billion dollars from its account at the New York Federal Reserve. The bank in New York rejected some of the request but honored some, resulting in the 81 millions dollars disappearing into casinos and other entities of the Philippines.

 

In Dhaka, a top police officer said in December, that some Bangladesh officials deliberately exposed its computer systems, enabling hackers to get access.
