Der Digitale Euro: Europas Geld in der digitalen Ära
Die EZB denkt über die Einführung eines digitalen Euro nach. Hintergründe, Beweggründe, Chancen, Risiken und Handlungsempfehlungen von Consileon.
For a long time, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) mainly operated a secure communication channel for the international payment transactions of banks. This is still the case today. It is practically impossible to move money internationally without SWIFT. About 11.000 banks and financial institutions are currently connected to SWIFT and, in total, move around six trillion US Dollars per day.
But one event changed everything. Three hackers attacked a Japanese bank and the criminals managed to break into the bank’s internal system. They used a fictitious application for this attack. Because there were no other internal security mechanisms that separated the personnel department from the payment systems, the cybercriminals were able to make fictitious transfers using the secure SWIFT network.
Because of this event, SWIFT has come to the realisation that it must also ensure sufficient security within the affiliated banks to prevent thefts like this in the future. For that reason, SWIFT commits all participating institutions to a strict security programme, which ensures that all areas that are relevant for payment transactions and communicate with SWIFT are strictly shielded from the other IT systems of the financial institution and the Internet.
