This heist highlighted the vulnerabilities of the SWIFT messaging system and taught the banking industry important lessons about cybersecurity. By investing in robust cybersecurity measures, monitoring SWIFT transactions closely, and collaborating with other banks, banks can protect themselves from cyber attacks and prevent incidents like this from happening again.
