U.S. Banks Warned of Cyberattacks on Accounts

According to the article at the link below, it's about to get really ugly for American Banks and people who keep money in American Banks. It's fixing to go way beyond DDoS attacks. The Russians Hackers will be reaching into bank accounts.  (Watserman, 2012).


Comments:
This has the potential of creating a create deal of FUD – Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt in the American public, which has previously trusted banks.  It also shows how easy cyberattacks have become for enemies who wish to do us harm.

Mattresses, anyone?
