"The likely culprit is Lazarus," BAE cyber-intelligence chief Adrian Nish told Reuters by telephone. Nish said he expects the group to continue to target banks. They are going to keep going back," he said. Still, he noted that the group appears to have had difficulty in pulling funds out of the banking system, after the massive Bangladesh heist, which prompted SWIFT and banks to boost security controls. BAE previously disclosed that Lazarus attempted to steal money from banks in Mexico and Poland, though there is no evidence the effort succeeded.
