Hackers have used a disk-wiping malware to sabotage hundreds of computers at a bank in Chile to distract staff while they were attempting to steal money via the bank's SWIFT money transferring system.

The attempted hack took place on May 24, this year. On that day, the Banco de Chile, the country's biggest bank, reported all-around systems failures that affected the computers at several of its branches.
