バングラデシュ中央銀行の不正送金についてまとめてみた
2016-03-15 • piyokango • A summary of fraudulent remittances by the Central Bank of Bangladesh •
The excerpt summarizes reporting on the Bangladesh Bank SWIFT fraud, where authenticated SWIFT messages were used to attempt transfers totaling roughly $951 million and about $101 million was successfully stolen. It notes that a spelling error in a recipient name, "fandation" instead of "foundation," helped expose a fraudulent fifth transfer tied to a non-existent Shalika Foundation. The funds moved through RCBC accounts in the Philippines, including accounts opened in May 2015, and were traced onward through cash withdrawals, remittance services, casino accounts, chip conversion, and possible transfers to accounts in Shanghai. The material is useful for defenders and investigators as a case study in fraudulent payment messaging, mule accounts, weak branch controls, and laundering paths after a high-value bank compromise.
