The amount of funds involved in the irregular activity totaled "approximately 300 million pesos ($15.3 million)," central bank governor Alejandro Diaz de Leon told reporters. An investigation is under way, the governor said, without indicating if the suspected hackers were domestic or international. The interbank payments system allows banks to make real-time transfers to each other. Martinez revealed that at least five attacks had occurred but, at that time, said the amount taken was still being analyzed. After the attacks were detected, banks switched to a slower but more secure method.
