Malware ‘used as part of a wider toolkit’ in Bangladesh Bank attack

Malware used by cybercriminals to carry out one of the biggest cyberheists in history is thought to have been “part of a wider attack toolkit”, according to a BAE Systems’ security researcher.

In a company blog, Sergei Shevchenko said that the tools used in February’s attack on Bangladesh Bank, which saw criminals walk away with $81 million, “could feasibly be used for similar attacks in the future”.
