> Then later Monday morning, Bank of Montreal revealed that it, too, had received a tip that "fraudsters" had stolen data on up to 50,000 of the bank's customers, "and a threat was made to make it public," BMO spokesperson Paul Gammal said.
> In BMO's case, at least, the tipsters were the hackers themselves.
> "We took steps immediately when the incident occurred and we are confident that exposures identified related to customer data have been closed off," BMO said.
Which "incident"? The theft or the data or being informed they were selling their own ass back to them?
The only fraudsters here are the banks, claiming they are secure.
Will CIBC and BMO be paying higher interest rates for the elevated risk of banking with them?
