Comment Can we trust Banks anymore? (Score 1) 450
The incident is shocking, coming from a leading bank such as Bank of America. Its a classic case of social engineering. Phishing attacks are hard to prevent, since they are directed towards bank customers, with little or no information on banking security. However, attacks like these where the Bank employees are targeted need to be prevented. When a bank customer errs, he/she compromises his/her own information, but when bank employees err, they compromise thousands of identities, to say the least. Banks should conduct security workshops to educate employees, if they are not already doing so.
