&gt; In both cases, the core messaging system of Swift was not breached; rather, the criminals attacked the banks’ connections to the Swift network. Each bank is responsible for maintaining the security of its connection to Swift<p>I can&#x27;t help but feel this system is fundamentally flawed. &quot;It&#x27;s not our fault. Or clients just aren&#x27;t very secure.&quot;

&quot;the thieves used a form of malware that targeted a PDF reader that the bank used to confirm that payments had been made.&quot;<p>PDF reader! bank infosec is a joke
