Bangladesh has blocked a bid to steal money from banks through cyber-attacks by a North Korean group of hackers called the “BeagleBoyz”, says the head of the government’s Computer Incident Response Team or CIRT.
“There is nothing to be afraid of now. The danger is over,” said Tarique M Barkaullah, who directs the CIRT.
The US had recently alerted the banks around the world that the North Korean hackers were trying to steal money through transfers and cash withdrawals from ATMs.
Later, when the Bangladesh Bank warned about the risk of cyber-attacks, the banks limited online transactions in a move to ward off the threats.
