FRANKFURT: The European Central Bank will set up a database to register incidents of cyber crime at commercial banks, aiming to create an early warning and analysis system for big lenders, it told a German newspaper. 

Attackers earlier this year stole US$81mil (RM326.22mil) from a Bangladesh central bank account at the New York Fed in one of the biggest-ever cyber heists, heightening global concerns over cybersecurity.
