If you use these banks, your personal data might’ve been stolen in a security breach

Hackers have been out in force this year, especially when it comes to security incidents like data breaches and, increasingly, the opportunity to take advantage of lax security and other vulnerabilities at banks and financial institutions.

A major regional bank based here in Memphis, for example, reported in recent days that some of its customers have had to deal with unauthorized access to their accounts as well as the stealing of funds. "Based on its ongoing investigation," First Horizon acknowledged in a securities filing, "the Company determined that an unauthorized party had obtained login credentials from an unknown source and attempted access to customer accounts." Using those stolen credentials and exploiting a vulnerability in third-party security software, the attackers were able to access "under 200" online customer bank accounts. They also accessed personal information associated with those accounts and, according to the bank, fraudulently obtained funds from those accounts which First Horizon said totaled less than $1 million.
