Bangladesh's Central Bank is "black", but computers are "naked"-hackers, the Central Bank, the firewall-IT information

Beijing, April 22 21st Bangladesh, a police official said, the country's Central Bank was successfully attacked by hackers because the financial institution computers not installed firewall and use inexpensive switches.

"If there is a firewall, ' black ', it will be difficult," Bangladesh police training muhanmode·shaa·alamu, head of the Institute of forensic medicine said.

In early February this year, hackers successfully from the Central Bank of Bangladesh in the United States Federal Reserve Bank of New York account of more than 81 million dollars, if it weren't for hackers misspells a word of English, which probably will lose at least $ 850 million.

Alam said that the Central Bank computer network switches are used, a single price, around $ 10, security worry. No more advanced network switch as the secondary, investigators are hard to identify exactly what hackers did what and where to attack.

In his view, the Central Bank account theft, the Agency itself and headquartered in Belgium's capital Brussels, the society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has responsibility. First, given the Central Bank SWIFT rooms devoted to international wire transfers, a very important status, should have sent the clock monitoring, while the Central Bank did not do so.

In addition, Alam believes that SWIFT obliged to point out that the Central Bank of Bangladesh computer system risk. "But we have not found any evidence that they (the Central Bank) put forward recommendations related to the theft," Reuters quoted him as saying.

SWIFT does not respond to Alam the related claims.

A spokesman for the Central Bank of Bangladesh said that SWIFT representatives warned Bangladesh updated computer switches, but that happened after the theft.

"Two (SWIFT) engineers visit after the Central Bank theft, suggesting that we upgrade the system," the spokesman said.

SWIFT said earlier, Bangladesh Bank theft in connection with the Bank's internal operations, and SWIFT's messaging system does not in itself against infringement.

Bangladesh police earlier this week said it has identified 20 foreigners involved in the theft, but these seem to be "payee" instead of the original "thief stealing some money." At this stage, hackers, personal information is still uncertain.

On March 15 this year, Bangladesh Bank Governor ADI·laheman resigned, assume leadership responsibility for stolen bank accounts. Local officials have previously said, catching the hacker, the accident recovered the stolen money is very difficult, time can be quite long.

孟加拉国央行被“黑”，竟因电脑都在“裸奔” - 黑客,央行,防火墙 - IT资讯

北京4月22日电孟加拉国一名警方官员21日说，该国央行之所以遭黑客成功攻击，原因是这家金融机构的电脑没有安装防火墙且使用廉价的交换机。

“如果当时有防火墙，‘黑’起来会困难一些，”孟加拉国警方法医培训研究院负责人穆罕默德·沙阿·阿拉姆说。

今年2月初，黑客成功从孟加拉国央行在美国纽约联邦储备银行的账户中转走8100多万美元，如果不是因为黑客拼错一个英文单词，该账户可能还会损失至少8.5亿美元。

阿拉姆说，央行电脑使用的网络交换机是二手货，单个售价大约10美元，安全性能堪忧。没有更高级的网络交换机作为辅助，调查人员很难查清黑客具体做了些什么以及从哪里发起攻击。

他认为，央行账户失窃，该机构自身以及总部位于比利时首都布鲁塞尔的环球银行间金融通信协会（SWIFT）都有责任。首先，鉴于央行SWIFT房间专门用于国际电汇，地位相当重要，本该派专人全天候监控，而央行并没有这么做。

另外，阿拉姆认为，SWIFT有责任指出孟加拉国央行电脑系统存在的风险。“但我们还没有发现任何证据显示，他们在（央行）失窃前提出建议，”路透社援引他的话报道。

SWIFT暂时没有回应阿拉姆的相关说法。

孟加拉国央行一名发言人说，SWIFT方面的代表确实提醒过孟加拉国更新电脑交换机，但那发生在失窃案之后。

“两名（SWIFT）工程师在央行失窃后到访，建议我们升级系统，”这名发言人说。

SWIFT方面先前说，孟加拉国央行失窃与该行内部操作相关，而SWIFT本身的消息传递系统并没有受侵害。

孟加拉国警方本周早些时候说，他们已经确认20名外国人牵涉这起失窃案，但这些人似乎是“收款人”，而不是最初的“偷钱贼”。现阶段，黑客的个人信息依然不明朗。

今年3月15日，孟加拉国央行行长阿蒂·拉赫曼引咎辞职，为央行海外账户失窃承担领导责任。当地官员先前说，抓捕肇事黑客、追回失窃资金非常困难，耗时可能相当漫长。
