Hacked: The Bangladesh Bank Heist

How hackers got away with one of the biggest thefts in history, robbing Bangladesh's central bank of more than $80m.

The money, and the thieves, then vanished. And it was all done online. In this comprehensive investigation spanning several countries, 101 East examines one of the biggest bank robberies in modern times, to find out how cyber-hackers infiltrated the global banking system, and got away with it.
