A US congressional committee launches a probe into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's handling of the cyber theft of $81 million from one of its accounts held by the central bank of Bangladesh, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

Philippine central bank says it revoked the license of a remittance company that anti-money laundering investigators said was used to transfer some of the $81 million hackers looted from the Bangladesh central bank.

The government will make public the probe report on the cyber heist of US$101 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account with New York’s Federal Reserve Bank.

When Hagoda Gamage Shalika Perera, a small Sri Lankan businesswoman, got a deposit of $20 million in her account last month, she said the funds were expected but had no idea they were stolen from Bangladesh's central bank in one of the largest cyber heists in history.

Bangladesh Bank says it has launched a “coordinated move” to recover the $101 million that was lost in cyber heist from the central bank’s account with US’ Federal Reserve Bank.

The “technology expert” who was missing for nearly a week after speaking to the media over cyber heist at Bangladesh Bank has been found from Dhaka.
