A failed attempt to steal £220m (approx. HK$3bn) from the Sumitomo Mitsui Bank in the City of London, described in the press as "high-tech" and "Mission Impossible-style" centred on "sophisticated hardware devices". Although no money was lost, the Police were still chasing the gang.
The sophisticated hardware was revealed to be… a simple USB keylogger, available for just £20 (approx. HK$280). Perhaps some of the other "Mission Impossible" hardware is just as cheap?
