Cyberattackers accessed 100 U.S. bank regulators’ emails, Bloomberg reports

Cyberattackers intercepted roughly 100 bank regulators’ emails for over a year, acquiring access to messages containing deliberations at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as well as sensitive information about the financial institutions it oversees, Bloomberg’s Margi Murphy and Jake Bleiberg report, citing two people familiar with the matter. The hackers were able to monitor employee emails at the agency after hacking into an administrator’s account, the authors say, noting that the breach was discovered earlier this year. Publicly traded companies in the space include Bank of America (BAC), Citi (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (JPM), Morgan Stanley (MS), U.S. Bancorp (USB) and Wells Fargo (WFC).
