Its pretty impressive they bypassed taking from people (they only took from the banks directly) by using malware to get into the systems. The malware was deposited on pcs that were used for book keeping. The thieves watched the banks (by using the cameras on the PC and presumably got access to the security cameras) and learnt what the daily routine was. Its mad how much like a movie it is.

Its a very smooth job. Could be the most sophisticated attack *seen for a very long time.
-edit- *that is done outside of potential government involvement

-edit2- this is scary. Its good that the gang seemed to be after money more then data/bank details. Makes a change I must say
