A major Kenyan bank recently suffered a serious internal attack, resulting in the theft of about 500 million Kenyan shillings (about 4 million US dollars). Investigations found that the gang was an external contractor in charge of the bank's IT system. It generated virtual cards by manipulating the card management system and linked them to mobile wallets, and then quickly transferred the funds.
The stolen funds were laundered into multiple offshore wallets, and the stablecoin Tether (USDT) plays a key role in the entire money laundering process, making the chain of funds more difficult to trace. The Kenya Criminal Investigation Agency (DCI) has launched an investigation and is working with the bank's cyber security team to trace the path of the hackers. Officials said those involved are expected to be arrested soon.
