Could someone have just copied the attack based off stuff that was made public abt NSA's hacking of SWIFT in 2013?
The principle maybe, not the attack itself, not enough data
Although attack vectors are similar (infrastructures, protocols) the tactics and strategies vary (implants, exploits)
I'd say that both hacks were done by intels The question is - independently or not?
NSA were rational (preparation and long term), whereas Bangladesh case was irrational (quick and short term)
Anyway, they will just say that they were "fighting terrorism financing"
Perhaps, we will know more this weekend 
But they CAN'T say that. They had terror financing data through the front door, and had have for over a decade by 2013.
& Europol's oversight of agreement has deviated from normal EU oversight. There's good reason to believe USG interprets "terror" liberally
So either NSA was just being NSA (obtaining redundant data bc YOLO), or they wanted the data for reasons well outside of EU agreement OR
Too expensive for just some redundant data
There is probably a geopolitical/tracking reason to do that
NSA has enough founding
Mostly agree. And suspect that's reason it's in SB's leak. Not the tech, per se. Tho am interested in extent to which Bangladesh borrowed.
Undoubtedly, SB leaks are politically related, not only the timing, but the content as well So many things are happening now ...
Yup. Just think people are missing the forest of content for the trees, and on SWIFT in particular there's a lot of known details missing.
