What the SWIFT Attacks Teach Us about the Need for More Information Sharing
In the wake of the $81 million SWIFT transaction cyberheist from the Bank of Bangladesh - the first in a cascade of SWIFT-related heists - regulators and bankers throughout the world have stopped, taken a step back, and reviewed how interbank transactions and payments are managed and operated.
