The age of the thief

Not so long ago, just 10-15 years before my birth, that is, in the eighties, there was a problem of thieves in the village. There have been enough burglaries in our house. When I was a child, I used to hear that our house was robbed the most among the neighboring five-ten villages. In earlier days there was a lot of theft.

Especially in the darkness of the night, he used to enter the house by cutting the door and steal things. At that time, 90% of the houses in the village were mud houses. Thieves used to cut the river very easily. Do you know what to cut? The thieves dug inside the house and made a tunnel. They used a long stick-like stick to dig the soil.

Most of the people in the village were poor farmers in those days. There was no chest in their house, no iron safe. Middle class village people used to have a huge tin trunk in their house. In most cases, this trunk was under the cushion of the coated cotton blanket, and if not, it was under the bed. This trunk used to contain precious stones - cash, expensive sarees, jewelery and land deeds.

Thieves did not touch land deeds or any important papers. Only expensive clothes, sarees, jewelery and money were shared. Along with the sneaky thief, there was the sneaky thief. The people of the village used to be confused by their appearance. Because, they are not expensive things, but what they got at hand, they cleaned their hands in the blink of an eye.Buckets, pots, bowls, towels, shoes, clothes left to dry on ropes, straws, tree branches, whatever was available, was shared. The householders of the village used to get very upset when small essential things were stolen.

Then there was another group of thieves. They only used to steal fish from the pond. Late at night, he used to clean the pond by smearing mustard oil all over his body and quietly throwing nets. And there was a group of poultry thieves. They used to steal only poultry from household houses, and did not even touch anything else. And finally, let's talk about another group of deadly thieves. If you can catch them, they would give you a bamboo stick in the previous days.

Since almost all the families in the village were farmers, rice was cultivated by the householders of almost all the houses. And during the season of bringing rice home, this thief was a nuisance. A group of thieves used to steal the paddy of the field or the newly grown paddy. Another group used to steal cows. Cows and goats were stolen from cowsheds at night. This group of cow thieves caused the biggest damage. A cow was worth a lot to a farmer at that time.

Now let's come to the words of today's thieves. This thief has been a nuisance since the beginning of the 21st century. These thieves are not uneducated, half-naked needy thieves like the thieves of yesteryear. They steal at any time of the day or night. No need to apply mustard oil.

They are highly educated. And incredibly talented. They use their talent only for stealing. People's bank accounts are emptied in the blink of an eye while sitting in a cold room eating pizza, burgers and black coffee. In earlier days, if the thieves stole, they had to pay a loss of several thousand rupees, but if they stole, they had to pay a loss of several thousand crores of rupees.

Yes, you got it right. These are hackers. cyber crooks Their target is not only the general public. Large financial institutions - such as banks, central bank, Reserve Bank, even the World Bank. They have spread black net everywhere.

Not too long ago. A large part of Bangladesh Bank's dollar reserve was in an American central bank. The issue of dollar transactions was operated from a very secured room in the building of Bangladesh Bank. Since this was done through Swift, the dollar transfer command was first printed on a printer with an internet connection. Later the same was sent to the bank's SWIFT server through telegraphic way. And it executes dynamically.

Since the dollar transfer message was printed and sent over a secure telegraphic way, there was no way to intercept or edit the message midway. It was 100% hack proof. However, an attempt was made to steal 100 million dollars from the reserve dollars of Bangladesh Central Bank and the thieves were able to steal 100 million dollars.

But, how could steal this 10 million dollars? It was 100% hack proof. Hmmm, thieves aren't that stupid these days. They are impossible experts. A notorious North Korean hacker did this theft. It was a very big gang. Many people were involved in this theft. But, the real work i.e. the theft was done by one person. The mysterious hacker.

For a long time, the hacker's team entered the field after gathering information and gathering information. Their prime target was that printer. Which used to be in the most secret and secure strong room of Bangladesh Central Bank building. The printer with which the dollar transfer command was printed.

The rule is that since the printer is connected to the Internet, the Internet connection should be kept as hackproof as possible. This is where the problem was with Bangladesh Bank. The security company whose job was to maintain the firewall protection is only 1 day late to update it. Because it was Friday. General government weekend in Bangladesh.And only waiting for this day, the hacker team was sitting for three years to adapt. A single cyber attack. Successfully executed. The control of the printer is now with the hacker. A new firewall update won't do anything either.

Printer in the possession of the thief. However, the hacker had to wait another week. Because I want an opportunity. The target is fixed for next Sunday. A hacker now needs only two things. One. One or more money transfer commands of any amount that have not yet been executed. Two, a day when banks are open in Bangladesh while banks are closed in America.

The opportunity came. next sunday Bank opening in Bangladesh. A team of high-ranking officials of the Bangladesh Central Bank authenticated them by commanding the dollar transfer of some small amounts. But, the goal is forced. The printer was not working. The bank official wrote a note that the printer was not working. After that everyone closed the bank and went home. It was Sunday, so all American banks were closed. SWIFT transactions are not executed on holidays.The printer woke up in the middle of the night at the command of the hacker. Grab the encrypted code of authentication of all pending transactions, the code that has not yet been executed. Because the printer was not working at that time (the printer was not working at the command of the hacker). So they were not executed, they were pending.

Let me briefly tell the next story. As per the hacker's instructions, the printer printed several dollar transfer commands. They are passed by the authentication code of the previous day's pending transaction. As a result, clearance was obtained automatically from Bangladesh Bank's server. Now in the SWIFT system in the telegraphic way, they went to the US Bank's SWIFT system for execution.

The next day, Monday, the commands were executed one by one. But, an interesting thing happened here. The North Korean hacker misspelled the name "Bangladesh" in all the commands. Only one was correct. And so that one transaction was successful. The rest were canceled automatically. But, by then the damage was done.

10 million dollars went to the hacker. However, luckily the remaining $900 million was saved because the hacker made a spelling mistake. That cute thief wanted to steal a total of 1 billion dollars.
