Check it out.

Cyber-attacks behind possibly record-breaking bank heist

(CBS News) It may be the largest bank robbery in history: A crime ring is accused of stealing $45 million from financial institutions from around the world.

But these criminals weren't wearing masks or waving guns. They were armed with computers.

The case by the U.S. Secret Service is being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, Loretta Lynch. Seven alleged members of the New York cell of this global cyber-crime operation have been arrested, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reported on "CBS This Morning."

Miller, a former FBI assistant director, reported, "We've learned how they carried out this cyber-attack, and it's unlike anything ever seen before."
