Police in London say they have foiled one of the biggest attempted bank thefts in Britain. The plan was to steal £220m ($423m) from the London offices of the Japanese bank Sumitomo Mitsui.......They managed to infiltrate the system with keylogging software that would have enabled them to track every button pressed on computer keyboards.

This happens all the time, with smaller sums of money, of course.

That's a lot of money to try and sneak out with an Eletronics funds transfer.

Heh, almost as good as movies such as Ocean's 11 (and to a lesser degree, 12).

Might not have made such a good movie though. Not much need for fancy locations when you're just pushing buttons!
