SWIFT, the global financial messaging network that banks use to move billions of dollars every day from different accounts was warned on Thursday of a second malware attack similar to the one that led to February's $81 million cyber attacks at the Bangladesh central bank.
The second case was targeted a commercial bank, SWIFT spokeswoman Natasha de Teran said, without naming it. It was not immediately clear how much money was stolen in the second attack.
While SWIFT had previously warned that the Bangladesh heist was not an isolated incident, and said its core messaging system remained intact, confirmation of a second attack on a bank will likely increase awareness on the security of a network that is a important of the global financial system
