Beijing has denounced the suggestion by a Filipino senator that a network of Chinese people were ‘possibly’ involved in the routing of the stolen funds from Bangladesh Bank accounts in the US through Manila.
The suggestion was “complete nonsense” and “really irresponsible,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters on Wednesday. The reaction came the same day Filipino Senator
Ralph Recto said that Chinese hackers were likely to have pulled off the one of the world’s biggest cyber heists.
Recto told Reuters in a telephone interview, “The hacking was done, chances are, by Chinese hackers… Then they saw that, in the Philippines, RCBC was particularly vulnerable and they sent the money over here.”
Unidentified hackers tried to transfer a total of $951 million from Bangladesh Bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in early February.
