Regions reports cyberattacks
Regions Financial Corp. on Thursday became the third bank this week to experience service disruptions to its website after being targeted by a group claiming to have ties to Islamic terrorism, Fox Business reported. The Alabama-based company said it is “experiencing an Internet service disruption that is intermittently impacting our customers’ ability to access our website or use our online banking service.” There is no evidence the attacks have compromised any customer information.The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters took credit last month for disrupting the websites of the two largest U.S. banks: JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. This week, the group which derives its name from the armed wing of terrorist group Hamas, hit Capital One Financial Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc. after posting specific threats on a website popular with hackers.
