In February 2016, hackers stole $101 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account at the New York Fed by sending fake SWIFT transfer requests, nearly nabbing $1 billion total. The money hit accounts in the Philippines and Sri Lanka, with most of the Philippine haul vanishing into casinos, aided by lax security and suspected North Korean hackers. Only $18 million was recovered, exposing major flaws in global banking defenses.
