nacompromise mga swift codes nyan.

yun nga daw. swift system isnt that secured. para lang syang formatted text file. you just need the bank codes, which the hackers easily got via malware.

Swift is secure in itself. Although the basic message is indeed a text file and you could format one if you want to, try entering their secure VPN to send that message. Only banks have configured terminals that are supposed to be secured and locked away from unauthorized personnel.

thats what the malware is for. you dont need an authorized personnel to do the transaction once you "see" what an authorized person do. and i wouldnt call a text file secured if you just open it in notepad and you can see the transaction details like account numbers.

There is definitely some human intervention somewhere. Although I believe that the malware can allow you to make some changes from an external system that interfaces into Swift, messages sent there pass thru manual verification and authorization process (so called four-eyes). There were insiders, no doubt. Took advantages of weak controls.
