US$13 Million Bank Heist

The Bank of Uganda is the country’s central bank. In November 2024, there was a heist at the bank. Initial reports suggested a cyberattack by hackers, but subsequent investigations and reports suggested an inside job. In a statement on its website, the bank said there was “fraudulent activity that resulted in international payments being diverted from their intended beneficiaries.” Other reports say that US$6 million was sent to an account in Japan and US$7 million to an account in England. That is 13 million dollars. From a bank. From the central bank of a country.

There are not enough details at the moment to comment further.
