WASHINGTON — Federal officials warned companies Monday that hackers
have stolen more than 500 million financial records over the past 12
months, essentially breaking into banks without ever entering a
building.
"We're in a day when a person can commit about 15,000
bank robberies sitting in their basement," said Robert Anderson,
executive assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Cyber Response and
Services Branch.
The U.S. financial sector is one of the most
targeted in the world, FBI and Secret Service officials told business
leaders at a cybersecurity event organized by the Financial Services
Roundtable. The event came in the wake of mass hacking attacks against
Target, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase and other financial institutions.
"You're
going to be hacked," Joseph Demarest, assistant director of the FBI's
cyberdivision, told the business leaders. "Have a plan."
Yea....the Russians and Chinese want their money.
