Cyber-attacks on banks are growing more frequent. Wall Street has just conducted a cyber-defense exercise called “Quantum Dawn 2,”. During the drill, bank employees were stationed at their normal offices, and were emailed throughout the day with bits of information that could indicate an encroaching hacker attack.
