  • SWIFT - Media FAQ: Shadow Brokers - Allegations Surrounding Attempts To Gain Unauthorised Access To Data At Two Service Bureaux

    Date 17/04/2017

    Key Facts:

    • SWIFT has no indication to suggest that our network or core messaging services have been compromised.
    • The allegations, which date back to 2013, suggest that two service bureaux may have been targeted to gain the attackers unauthorised access to their bank customers’ data.
    • Service Bureaux are third-party providers that operate the connection to SWIFT for firms that wish to connect to SWIFT but who want to outsource the day-to-day operation of their SWIFT connection to a third party. Users are free to select a service bureau of their choosing, and remain responsible for all operations they decide to outsource to their selected service bureau.
    • SWIFT is in close contact with the service bureaux concerned to verify that they are aware of the allegations and have appropriate preventative measures in place.
    • Security is paramount, which is why we have been working with the Community through the Customer Security Programme (CSP) to raise awareness and provide tools and guidance around security.
    • Customers should pay close attention their own security and take security into consideration when selecting a service bureau and working with other third party providers.
    • Securing software and systems by immediately installing security updates, patches and software is key to protecting against exploits such as these. SWIFT regularly releases security updates reinforcing our products, thereby protecting against known exploits and vulnerabilities.
    • The CSP aims to help customer and service providers in reinforcing the security of their operating environments (including their Windows or other operating systems) and ensuring the multiple lines of defence that will help protect against compromises. Applying the latest security patches is one of the 16 mandatory controls in the recently published CSP Security Controls Framework: taken together these controls should also significantly mitigate the impact of any such vulnerabilities.
