    The $1,000,000,000 North Korean Bank Heist
    Bangladesh, February 7th, 2016. The director of the Bangladesh Central Bank got off the elevator on the ninth floor, and headed to the back office of the Accounts and Budgeting Department. This was the most restricted part of the building. He was there to deal with a problem, one that had been plaguing the office the last few days.
    You see, the printer wasn’t working, and this was kind of a big deal. It was causing a real disruption.
    The automated printer, which was hooked up to the bank’s software, was supposed to work round the clock, 24/7, printing out the bank’s transaction reports in real-time. Due to this technical glitch however, the printer tray remained empty.
    Much of the day was spent trying to fix the issue; and, after a great deal of effort, there was success. They were able to restart the printer. And so the backlog of transaction reports started rolling out, one by one.
    Now, it soon became apparent that something wasn’t quite right. There were more statements than expected...

    - SWIFT security system

A NordVPN type service also encrypts the data from the origin to the end point. Tor and Incognito depend on you accessing the origin site via https to hide the data.

      Pretty sure they knew most of the transaction wouldn't go through. Most likely they calculated how much and how many would have been lost in order to get a certain sum of money. That particular one was probably a fake-trail. Even the point of making NK the culprit is very clever. If you want to frame someone for a massive heist like this, frame the only state in the world which no one wants to deal with - ND no one can confirm is the real culprit..

      I work in TD bank my branch does small transfers since I work in a small location. But I can see all the wire requests for the bank from my system. Millions dollar transaction is not that rare. And we are a small bank. Now imagine the federal banks. If all high amount transaactions needed manual confirmation than you would have to wait weeks for confirmation. In this day and age that delay is more costly then the chances of such fraud

      One example is you have a really good drone. Your drone has the best high tech to defend itself against any hacking attempts. But all this security will be of no use if the hackers just target the Remote Control and take control of the drone through the hacked remote control.
