The Bangladesh Bank robbery, also known as the Bangladesh Bank cyber heist, was an infamous theft that took place in February 2016. Thirty-five fraudulent instructions were issued by hackers via the SWIFT network to illegally transfer close to US$1 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York account belonging to Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh. Five of the thirty-five fraudulent instructions were successful in transferring US$101 million, with US$20 million traced to Sri Lanka and US$81 million to the Philippines.  A world record, biggest hack of it's kind. The trail left behind led the whole world to a rabbit hole, after rabbit hole.
