"System Update" is Major Banks' Euphemism for Being Hacked

Almost funny..after this blogger reported multiple incidences involving online banking issues (phishing, Identity Theft attempts, and erroneous charges on credit card) over past several days, and being told by bank 'customer service' staff the issues were merely related to "system updates", we're all reminded again that phrase is nothing more than a euphemism for "we've been hacked! (and that your account information was likely hijacked by perpetrators).

The intriguing part is that select politicians with nothing intelligent to say are attributing this week's cyberattacks on multiple banks to Iranian-backed trouble makers.

I guess the confirmation sent to me by Amazon for that $700 flat panel TV will actually be shipped to someplace in the middle east!
