BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The UBI cyber attack made use of malware that allowed hackers to steal the bank's access codes for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payments system to send transfer instructions for about $170 million to a UBI account at U.S.-based financial services provider Citigroup Inc.
