Organised cyber criminals succeeded in in a daring heist which saw $81 million of Bangla Desh government funds transferred from the New York Reserve to a Philippines Bank. It sems the criminals have now been traced because they made a grammatical error of Mulundwaisque proportions. They asked for the funds to be transferred to a well known NGO called "SELEKA FUND", but asked for the money to be transferred to SELEKA "FAN" instead. It seems even criminals have to learn proper grammar these days. Just being a "critical thinker" is not enough.
