Cyber Crime in the Financial Sector Challenges and the Role of

Bangladesh Central Bank Fraud - 2016
2
History of Bank Heist
Bangladesh bank Heist
Trap
Setup
In January 2015, an innocuous-
looking email had been sent to
several Bangladesh Bank
employees.
It came from a job seeker
calling himself Rasel Ahlam. His
polite enquiry included an
invitation to download his CV
and cover letter from a
website.
In reality, Rasel did not exist –
he was simply a cover name
being used by the Lazarus
Group, according to FBI
investigators,” the report says.
At least one person inside the
bank fell for the trick,
downloaded the documents,
and got infected with the
viruses hidden inside.
Once inside the bank’s systems,
the Lazarus Group began
stealthily hopping from
computer to computer.
The actual draining of the
accounts happened only a year
later, the report says, because
the hackers were lining up the
next stages, planning how to
remove the money in such a
way that it would not be
possible to retrieve it.
What Happened in between
February 4-7, 2016
• On 4th Feb 2016, Hackers attempted to steal $951
million from the Bangladesh Central Bank (BCB) in
Dhaka.
• $81 million sent to Rizal Commercial Banking
Corporation in the Philippines via 4 (four)
different transfer requests.
• Additional $20 million sent to Pan Asia (Sri
Lanka) Banking in a single request.
• FED blocked $850 million in other transactions.
About $81 Million
7
$81 MILLION WAS DEPOSITED INTO FOUR
ACCOUNTS AT A RIZAL BRANCH IN MANILA ON
4TH FEB 2016
THESE ACCOUNTS HAD ALL BEEN OPENED A YEAR
EARLIER IN MAY 2015, BUT HAD BEEN INACTIVE
WITH JUST $500 SITTING IN THEM UNTIL THE
STOLEN FUNDS ARRIVED IN FEBRUARY 2016
Human
Error
IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES, WORKERS AT
THE RIZA COMMERCIAL BANKING
CORPORATION ALLOWED THE
ATTACKERS TO OPEN ACCOUNTS USING
FAKE DRIVING LICENSES; THESE
ACCOUNTS WERE THEN USED TO
RECEIVE AND TRAFFIC STOLEN FUNDS.
THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE
WORKERS WHO INSTALLED THE SWIFT
SYSTEM IN BB DID NOT FOLLOW
OFFICIAL GUIDELINES AND THAT
COULD HAVE OPENED UP SECURITY
VULNERABILITIES.
THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE OF SLACK
PROCEDURE IN NEW YORK: THERE
WERE NUMEROUS INCONSISTENCIES
IN THE FRAUDULENT SWIFT ORDERS
WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPOTTED.
Latest Hacks and Financial Community Response
What is new
Hiding evidence
• Is the only change. Hackers simply crash the server after
submitting messages.
• An average of 72 hours is required to clear the money from
the next correspondent
Hackers Still
• Using phishing emails to compromise bank systems
• Around 250 days monitoring the transaction flow after
penetrating the bank
• Use valid operator credentials to submit fraudulent SWIFT
messages
The Response
• Launch of SWIFT Customer Security Program
• More frequent patching of the systems
• Mandatory usage of 2FA for bank SWIFT operators
• Systems monitoring with business rules
• Adoption of a threat hunting program to detect attackers
sooner
