I work with a lot of banks; local, regional, and national. Lemme tell you, the local banks have some of the most difficult security I’ve had to deal with, from an IT standpoint.
If you think they had impenetrable security before this, I’ve got some bad news for you…
I would hope a company handling the volume of money like casinos do, would at least have small regional bank level cyber security.
Meanwhile, small regional banks have their entire database in a single FoxPro file with the password on a post-it on the monitor
I have had national banks tell me I can’t use a space in my password.
What’s worse is when they call you on the phone to tell you.

Except for the specific one I was referencing.
Lol. Nice.
