Capital One confirmed it was hit by a second distributed denial of service attack. The hacktivist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters warned about additional bank attacks this week.
What's missing from remarks by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others is how the stalemate that led to the filibuster of the Cybersecurity Act could be resolved. Will the election make a difference?
The hacktivist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam launched a series of eight sophisticated DDoS attacks at leading U.S. banks. What lessons have been learned so far, and what additional steps can be taken?
"A cyberattack perpetrated by nation states or violent extremists' groups could be as destructive as the terrorist attack on 9/11," U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says. "Such a destructive cyber-terrorist attack could virtually paralyze the nation."

Regions Bank is the eighth U.S. financial institution apparently targeted by a DDoS attack believed to be waged by the hacktivist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Experts say banks should brace for more attacks on the way.
SunTrust Banks is the seventh U.S. financial institution hit by a DDoS attack apparently orchestrated by the hacktivist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. The group is threatening to hit Regions Financial Corp. next.
With President Obama on the hustings, his national security staff back at the White House is busily addressing cybersecurity matters that should, but aren't, making it to the presidential campaign.
RSA says 30 U.S. banks are potential targets of a massive Trojan attack, and alleged hacktivists say three more institutions will be hit by DDoS attacks this week. How must banks respond to the latest threats?
