“NEW YORK (AP) — PNC Bank has warned customers that its websites are getting hit with high traffic consistent with computer attacks.
In an e-mail to nearly 5 million customers, PNC says the traffic is meant to cause delays for legitimate online banking customers. It says other banks are experiencing similar traffic spikes but did not identify them.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer said in a story Thursday that in recent weeks, “websites of several of the largest banks have been hit sporadically by so-called ‘distributed denial-of-service attacks.’ The attacks flood the websites with so much traffic that it makes it difficult for customers to log into their online accounts or get information.” ”
