Yeh koi film ki kahani nahi — yeh real life ka Bangladesh Bank Heist hai, jise duniya ki sabse daring cyber crimes me se ek mana jata hai.

🔍 Background: Target – Central Bank

February 2016 me, hackers ne Bangladesh Bank (central bank of Bangladesh) ka computer network hack kiya. Unka real target tha:

New York Federal Reserve Bank, jahan Bangladesh Bank ke accounts me billions of dollars padhe hote hain.

Hackers ne ek highly sophisticated malware ka use kiya, jo specially SWIFT system ko bypass karne ke liye banaya gaya tha.

💻 Hackers Ka Tareeqa: The Master Plan

  1. First Step: Hackers ne Bangladesh Bank ke employees ko phishing emails bheje.

  2. Second Step: Jaise hi koi employee ne infected email open ki, malware system me ghus gaya.

  3. Third Step: Malware ne internal network ka control le liya – SWIFT system tak access mil gaya.

  4. Final Step: Hackers ne 35 fake transfer requests banaye, jinki total value thi $951 million.

In sab ko New York Federal Reserve ko bhej diya gaya, jahan se legally paisa transfer ho sakta tha.

💸 Kitna Paisa Chori Hua?

  • Total churaane ki koshish: $951 million

  • Transfer hone me kamyabi: $101 million

  • Baqi transactions reject ho gayi — sirf ek spelling mistake ki wajah se!

🧾 The Mistake That Saved the Day

Hackers ne ek request me “Foundation” ko “Fandation” likh diya tha. Yeh galti Deutsche Bank ke fraud detection system ne detect kar li.

⚠️ Result?

  • Alarm trigger ho gaya

  • Baaqi sare pending transfers ko block kar diya gaya

  • New York Fed ne investigation shuru kar di

Yeh sirf ek typo (spelling mistake) thi — lekin isne duniya ke sabse bade cyber robbery ko rokh diya.

💰 Jo Paisa Gaya, Woh Kahan Gaya?

  • $81 million Philippines transfer hua

  • Money laundering ke zariye casinos me chhupa diya gaya

  • Sirf $18 million recover ho saka

Aaj tak baqi paisa laapata hai.

🕵️‍♂️ Kisne Kiya?

International investigators ke mutabiq, is cyber heist ke peeche tha:

“Lazarus Group” – North Korea ka ek state-sponsored hacking group

Yeh wahi hackers hain jinhone:

  • 2014 me Sony Pictures hack kiya tha

  • Kai cryptocurrency exchanges ko loot chuke hain
