Talk:2015–2016 SWIFT banking hack

To do list

This article needs:

• Section on where the funds went and implications for money laundering
• More detailed description of how the security researchers link this to the Sony attacks, Lazarus, and North Korea

What is the right name for this article?

It's too early -- and it never may be totally proven -- to put North Korea in the title. It seems a bit unfair to label them as a SWIFT hack, as the attackers actually hacked the way the member banks govern and secure SWIFT messages . . . that said, the real implication is that the trust in the legitimacy of a SWIFT message suffers . . . Other thoughts? Chris vLS (talk) 17:43, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

As there are no dates whatsoever in the article, and the categories only include 2016, should the article be moved to 2016 SWIFT banking hack? – Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 10:37, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Some of these hacks happened in 2015, according to Reuters. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:44, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Interesting, thanks for sharing. :) The Ecuador incident should be added to the article as currently only the 2016 hacks to Bangladesh and Vietnam are mentioned. In any case, a move to the proper endashed variant of the article name will be conducted afterwards. – Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 07:06, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Both done. Somebody with more background knowledge on the subject should check if the addition on Ecuador is okay in that way, though. – Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 08:04, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
