Computer security firm Kapersky reports that as much as $1 billion has been stolen from banks worldwide since 2013 by a cyber hacker group.
The gang targeted as many as 100 banks, e-payment systems and other financial institutions in 30 countries including the U.S, China and European nations, stealing as much as $10 million in each raid. The Carbanak gang members came from Russia, China, Ukraine and other parts of Europe, and they are still active according to Kapersky.
The criminals detected by Kaspersky infected bank employees’ computers with malware, which then spread to internal networks and enabled video surveillance of staff. That let fraudsters mimic employee activity to transfer and steal money, according to Kaspersky, which said it has been working with Interpol, Europol and other authorities to uncover the plot.
