Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached

Gone Phishing writes "CNN is reporting that about 676,000 bank accounts in at least four banks (Bank of America, Wachovia, Commerce Bancorp, and PNC Financial Services) have had personal information "illegally sold". Over 60,000 customers have been notified so far."

Because the bigger banks offer me services that others probably would not be able to. For example, on-line bill paying. For example, 24/7 customer support. For example, an anti-fraud team that helped to rid $600 of fake charges from my account in ONE day after ONE call. For example, branches just about everywhere you go. For example, even with FDIC, knowing your bank is not going to close for whatever reason. For example, knowing that even with such breaches of security, they are a thousand times better than smaller banks. Hey, guess what? That's the same reason I use Windows XP instead of Linux.
