Allowing a bank to store all of your financial information is supposed to keep it safe, but that is not always the case. Although banks generally have the best anti-hacking software available and take extra precautions to keep this information secure, things do happens that can allow these documents to fall into the wrong hands. In many cases, it is not the bank's fault, as there are things that you should be doing to protect your bank account.

OpUSA to Strike US Government and Banking Infrastructure May 7

Anonymous and several other hacking groups are planning to attack the US Government and Banking Infrastructure on May 7, 2013.

I added a threat briefing on OpUSA, what's being targeted, and by who, to my Threat Watch site.

Currently, the only named targets of this attack are Whitehouse.gov, FBI, and Bank of America.  However, I'm sure other targets will be included.

If you work for a government agency, or in the banking agency, be vigilant, and be on the lookout for highly targeted phishing attacks.
