Not to be confused with the 2015–2016 SWIFT banking hack.
Heist via the SWIFT network from a Bangladesh Bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building
The Bangladesh Bank robbery, also known colloquially as the Bangladesh Bank cyber heist,[1] was a theft that took place in February 2016. Thirty-five fraudulent instructions were issued by security hackers via the SWIFT network to illegally transfer close to US$1 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York account belonging to Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh. Five of the thirty-five fraudulent instructions were successful in transferring US$101 million, with US$81 million traced to the Philippines and US$20 million to Sri Lanka. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York blocked the remaining thirty transactions, amounting to US$850 million, due to suspicions raised by a misspelled instruction.[2] As of 2018, only around US$18 million of the US$81 million transferred to the Philippines has been recovered,[3] and all the money transferred to Sri Lanka has since been recovered. Most of the money transferred to the Philippines went to four personal accounts, held by single individuals, and not to companies or corporations.
