Banks in Russia, Japan, the US, and Europe have fallen victim to a massive, sophisticated malware hack, allowing the perpetrators to steal hundreds of millions of dollars since 2013. According to a Kaspersky Labs report provided to the New York Times, more than 100 banks in 30 nations have been affected by the breach, with upwards of $300 million stolen in the process.
The Times reports that the majority of the affected banks are in Russia, but the hack is widespread and apparently ongoing.
I can't imagine the scale of the clean up. -
That's an impressive hack. And two years of it going on!

It's like the old days of social engineering people to setup an .rhosts file with a wild card entry so you didn't need a login to get into the machine. You'd think people would learn host-based authentication (especially alone) isn't really good, but of course why would they learn? They never do.
