Philippine bank at centre of cyber heist appeals New York court loss to Bangladesh

MANILA, Jan 20 (Reuters): A Philippine bank at the centre of an unsolved US$81 million cyber heist has appealed a New York Supreme Court decision to dismiss the bank's motion to throw out the Bangladesh central bank's lawsuit against it.

In February 2016, unidentified hackers used fraudulent orders on the SWIFT payments system to steal $81 million from Bangladesh Bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
