Almost the largest robbery ever

This article describes how thieves almost stole $440 million from Sumitomo bank in London. They used keystroke loggers to capture userids and passwords then transfered the money to their own accounts.

The article doesn't really explain how the police got involved or how the thieves were going to launder the money so it isn't much use if you'd like to try this on your own.

This related article has a picture of one of the keyloggers and explains how Sumitomo plan to solve the problem with superglue.
