The virus reportedly crashed more than 9,000 computers and more than 500 servers in Chilean banks. The attack occurred on May 24, resulting in a system-wide failure. Security researchers believe that the hacking organization that launched the attack had previously attacked Mexican foreign trade banks and tried to steal $110 million, but that attack also failed. The Trend Micro team believes that the attack on Chilean banks is a distraction strategy and the ultimate goal is the bank’s SWIFT network.
