Gartner: 2 million U.S. checking accounts raided
MSNBC technology correspondent Bob Sullivan writes about a soon-to-be released survey by Gartner that will report that nearly 2 million Americans have had their checking accounts raided by criminals in the past 12 months, each reporting an average loss per incident of $1,200 resulting in a total of more than $2 billion in losses for the year.
Gartner researcher Avivah Litan blamed online banking for most of the problem. "There has been a big increase in the abuse of existing checking accounts," Litan said.
