Cybercrime has plagued the global banking system over the last few years. The amount of money being taken in cyber-heists, in both banking and elsewhere, has reached staggering levels. Last year, the theft of $81 million in February 2016 from Bangladesh’s central bank using SWIFT messages rocked the banking industry. Recently on October 2017, hackers managed to pinch $60m from the Far Eastern International Bank in Taiwan by infiltrating malware in the system and gain control over the SWIFT access. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reported 16,468 instances of financial cybercrime in 2015-16.
