U.S. authorities linked a well-known group involved with malicious software, hacking, child pornography and spam known as Russian Business Network gang to the theft of an estimated tens of millions of dollars from Citibank which occurred mid-year. It was not known whether the money had been recovered and a Citibank representative said the company had not had any system breach or losses, according to the report. The report left unclear who the money was stolen from but said a program called Black Energy, designed by a Russian hacker, was one tool used in the attack. The attackers also targeted a U.S. government agency and one other unnamed entity, the report said, adding that it was unknown if the attackers accessed Citibank systems directly or through other parties.
