SWIFT

NEW YORK (May 18): Bank hacks in Vietnam and Bangladesh have sparked concerns within global banks, some of which are privately pressing the Swift interbank network to shore up security at its 11,000 members.

HANOI (May 15): Vietnam's Tien Phong Bank said that it interrupted an attempted cyber heist that involved the use of fraudulent SWIFT messages, the same technique at the heart of February's massive theft from the Bangladesh central bank.

WASHINGTON (May 13): Hackers have breached the world's largest financial messaging system, used to move billions of dollars a day, months after an multi-million dollar heist at the Bangladesh central bank, US media reported Thursday.
