CYBER FACT OF THE DAY Heists & Extortion

A Jammed Printer Saved $870 Million from North Korean Hackers

When North Korean Lazarus Group operatives issued 35 fraudulent SWIFT wire transfer orders totaling $951 million against the Bangladesh Central Bank, they were stopped from stealing the remaining $870 million because a local automated receipt printer on the 10th floor jammed and ran out of paper, alerting staff to anomalous transactions.
