Enter passwordRussian hackers managed to deprive Swedish bank Nordea of $1.1 million, MOSnews reported.

Over the last 15 months, Nordea customers have
been targeted by e-mails containing a tailor-made Trojan. According to the bank, users were redirected to a false home page, where they entered important log-in information, including log-in numbers.

Criminals then used the customer details on the real Nordea Web site to take money from customer accounts.

Swedish police have established that the log-in information was sent to servers in the US, and then to Russia. Russian-organized criminals are believed to be behind the attacks. Currently, 121 people are suspected of being involved.

Nordea has two million Internet banking customers in Sweden. " We lost approximately seven to eight million krona (up to US$1.1 million)," said Boo Ehlin, Nordea spokesman for Sweden.
