LONDON: The Bank of England ordered UK banks to detail steps taken to secure computers connected to the SWIFT bank messaging network about two months after a still-unidentified group used the system to steal US$81mil (RM329.6mil) from Bank Bangladesh, according to three people familiar with the effort.
The central bank sent the request to update cybersecurity measures to all banks it regulates in mid-to-late April, according to these people, who were not authorised to discuss the confidential communications.
