Massive Hack Strikes Offshore Cayman National Bank and Trust
Isle of Man, UK – A blast of sunshine has hit a secretive banking network used by global ultra-wealthy figures following a massive hack by “Phineas Fisher“, a notorious self-described “hacktivist”, of Cayman National Bank and Trust, which serves nearly 1,500 accounts in Isle of Man. Transparency collective Distributed Denial of Secrets has began publishing copies of the bank’s servers, a cache of documents as well as communications among bankers and others. Journalists around the world are investigating and have begun releasing stories.
Following the hack, a manifesto was uploaded to the Internet addressing the motivation for hacking financial services companies. Unicorn Riot has embedded the manifesto below which includes previously unpublished code which the author claims was used to break into “Hacking Team” an Italian surveillance company. Hacking Team was an elite corporation that specialized in developing malware until Phineas Fisher hacked them and published their code online. The malware developed by Hacking Team was often used to attack journalists and activists on behalf of repressive governments .
Unicorn Riot has obtained the small HackBack announcement text released exclusively in Spanish, described as “Desde las montañas del Sureste Cibernético” (‘From the mountains of the Cyber Southeast’). It bills itself as a “HackBack” DIY guide for “Una guía DIY para robar bancos” (‘A DIY guide for robbing banks.’) The announcement begins with a tongue-in-cheek dedication to “Subcowmandante Marcos” with an ASCII text-styled pipe-smoking cow referring to former Zapatista spokesperson Subcomandante Marcos.
Also included in the announcement were introductions to common information security tools such as Metasploit and observations about previous major bank hacks, suspicious activities on SWIFT (an international financial network), and art such as a skeleton saying “Be Gay, Do Crimes” in Spanish.

400 Million Indians Might Soon Need To Use Facial Recognition To Access Their Bank Accounts
Four banks are currently testing facial recognition systems for two-week trial periods
More than 400 million people in India who have a government-sponsored bank account or receive financial assistance from the government may soon have to look into a facial recognition camera to get their money.
The Indian national government is testing a change to its digital identification program, Aadhaar, that would make facial and iris recognition necessary to receive benefits, according to the Economic Times’ tech site ETtech. Aadhaar allows people access to a range of services, including scholarships, pensions, and some welfare programs.

Money from bank hacks rarely gets laundered through cryptocurrencies
SWIFT: "Identified cases of laundering through cryptocurrencies remain relatively small compared to the volumes of cash laundered through traditional methods."
Despite being considered a cybercrime haven, cryptocurrencies play a very small role in laundering funds obtained from bank hacks; the SWIFT financial organization said in a report last week.
"Identified cases of laundering through cryptocurrencies remain relatively small compared to the volumes of cash laundered through traditional methods," said SWIFT, the organization that runs the SWIFT inter-bank messaging system used by almost all banks across the world to wire funds across borders.
These traditional methods include the use of money mules, front companies, cash businesses, and investments back into other forms of crime, such as drug trade or human trafficking.

Vast #Leak Exposes How Credit #Suisse Served Strongmen and Spies
Leaked data on more than 18,000 accounts shows that the #Swiss #bank missed or ignored red flags.
The client rosters of Swiss banks are among the world’s most closely guarded secrets, protecting the identities of some of the planet’s richest people and clues into how they accumulated their fortunes.
Now, an extraordinary leak of data from Credit Suisse, one of the world’s most iconic banks, is exposing how the bank held hundreds of millions of dollars for heads of state, intelligence officials, sanctioned businessmen and human rights abusers, among many others.
A self-described whistle-blower leaked data on more than 18,000 bank accounts, collectively holding more than $100 billion, to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. The newspaper shared the data with a nonprofit journalism group, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, and 46 other news organizations around the world, including The New York Times.
The data covers accounts that were open from the 1940s until well into the 2010s but do not cover the bank’s current operations.

Nigel Farage Controversy Results in Hundreds of NatWest Private Data Requests - CySecurityNews -
Numerous requests for copies of personal data have been made to NatWest Bank under the provisions of data protection regulations.
It unfolded after an argument between the group and Nigel Farage, a pro-Brexit advocate. According to the former UKIP leader, his account at Coutts, a private bank owned by NatWest, was closed down as a result of his political beliefs.
It's not apparent if the inquiries were from present or past clients. Mr. Farage received no explanation as to why Coutts decided to cancel his account
It claimed that given his "publicly stated views," keeping Mr. Farage as a customer was inconsistent with Coutts's "position as an inclusive organisation."
Mr. Farage's retweet of a transphobic joke by Ricky Gervais and his relationship with tennis player Novak Djokovic, who is against the Covid vaccine, the document further reads.
