"The bank is doing its utmost to ensure that this cannot happen again and has already made significant improvements to its security, spending over 100 million Swiss Francs (HK$727 million; US$93.7 million) to upgrade systems and improve security," said Zeller.

The bank said it is working with the Swiss authorities and continues its own investigations, and a criminal investigation led by the Swiss Federal Prosecutor is underway.
