Big heist: Bangladesh's central bank confirmed that cybercriminals tried to withdraw US$951mil (RM3.9bil) from its US bank account.
US Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, a New York Democrat, said on March 22 that she wants a probe of last month's cyber heist from a Bangladesh Central Bank account at the New York Fed.
"We need a thorough investigation to determine how these criminals were able to manipulate the system so that banks and financial institutions can institute standards that will prevent hackers and cyber criminals from siphoning money out of accounts like those held at the New York Fed again," she said in a press statement.
