6:15 pm
security firm kaspersky labs says in 20131 hacker group may have stolen up to a billion dollars from banks around the world. kaspersky says the cyber attacks are still happening. here is how they say it works. hackers send e-mails containing a malware program to bank employees. the malware installs programs that record computer keystrokes and takes screen shots of bank computers. the hackers can then figure out the bank's inner workings and eventually how to remotely control the bank's computers. the hackers can then transfer money or make e-payments into fraudulent bank accounts, or even direct atms to spit out money at whatever time and place they choose. this full report comes out tomorrow but joining us tonight is chris doggett. he is the managing director of kaspersky north america, he joins us from boston. f chris, thank you for being with us. first i want to ask you, how did you discover this? >> well, we first got involved in investigating karbanak when a bank in kiev called us up, they discovered an external connection to a the server in
6:16 pm
china, which shouldn't be there, and they knew they needed help so we sent in a forensics team. >> that is the malware you are talking about. chris, are american banks involved? >> we think that there may bee american banks involved, yes. we do see target ip addresses from the hacker servers to institutions in the u.s. >> you are not releasing the names of the banks involved, but this is a lot of money. why no names? >> well, it is an ongoing operation, that is to say the attackers are still currently stealing money from the banks, there are obviously law enforcement investigations that are active and underway in multiple countries, multiple jurisdictions, and we do not want to compromise any of those investigations by releasing any specific information about victims. >> glor: chris, explain there to t me a little bit if you would. i know there are a couple of different things you say the b hackers were doing but one of them would be go into someone's account for example who has
6:17 pm
$1,000 in there and then add a t zero, so it would look like there was 10,000 in there and then transfer $9,000 out of it o let's say, so that goes into a fraudulent account, and thehe person doesn't realize it because it looks like there is still just 1,000 in there, correct? >> that is exactly right. what these attackers were able a to do, which is really something we haven't seen before, is essentially to hide their activities in plain sight. they were able to disguise what they were doing as legitimateis banking transactions and in doing so, it was very difficult for anyone, whether it was thehe account holder or the bank top pick up on what they were doing. >> glor: how concerned should ba banking customers be tonight? >> well, i think it does call into question the integrity and some of the controls that are init place in some of the banks, in particular, with respect to security itself. and so it is a note of serious concern for people. >> glor: chris doggett from kaspersky, thank you very much for joining us from boston tonight.
