A day after the suspected malware attack on Cosmos Bank's head office in Pune, which led to siphoning off of Rs 94.42 crore, the Maharashtra State Police along with the Pune police and private cyber experts had a meeting. The state police has decided to form an SIT to probe the case.
Brijesh Singh, Maharashtra Police's cybersecurity head, who attended the meeting, said, "Under the guidance of the DGP, we along with cyber experts and Pune police will set up an SIT. There are two lines of investigation in this case, including one about the SWIFT system of payment. We will check if notes pertaining to the bank's security were taken during audits. We will also look into the possibility of inside involvement."
