European cyber-cops have felt the collar of a bloke suspected of running a network of crims that used malware to pinch €1bn (£874.8m, $1.24bn) from cash machines and other banking systems. The crew developed the software nasty Anunak, later updated to Carbanak, as well as cyber-weapons based on Cobalt Strike’s penetration testing toolkit. The gang lobbed this malicious code at more than 100 financial institutions around the globe from 2013 until 2016, we’re told.
