>The thieves are believed to have hacked into the bank's computer systems using information gathered from keylogger programs, which allowed them access to sensitive passwords and other account information. At present, it is not clear how the keyloggers were installed.

"If the raid had succeeded, it would have been the biggest bank theft in British history, easily eclipsing the previous record of $50 million stolen from Northern Ireland's Northern Bank last December—a raid believed by police to have been conducted by the IRA."
