"Swedish bank Nordea has been stung for between seven and eight million Swedish krona — up to £580,000 — in what security company McAfee is describing as the "biggest ever" online bank heist. Over the last 15 months, Nordea customers have been targeted by emails containing a tailormade Trojan, said the bank."

"A half-million pound bank robbery is quite a feat, even today. When the heist happens on home computers, as it did with customers of Swedish bank Nordea, it's time to fundamentally review the assumptions on which the banks build our safety."
