Cyber-thieves pilfer $1 billion from banks: Russian firm

Hackers had such advanced access to the banks' systems that they could force ATM machines to dispense cash at specific times and locations where hackers could pick it up A wave of cyberattacks since 2013 has cost banks around the globe up to $1 billion (870 million euros) according to a report by Russian computer security firm Kaspersky Lab released Monday. About 100 banks -- mainly in Russia but also in the United States, Germany, China and Ukraine -- have been targeted. It was too early to pin down the source of the attacks, although some evidence points to China, Kaspersky said, while warning that hackers sometimes plant clues intended to mislead investigators. Once the attackers are in, they can then transfer money to accounts under their control or make withdrawals at certain bank machines.
