CIBC-owned Simplii Financial was the first to warn on Monday morning that hackers had accessed the personal and account information of more than 40,000 of the bank's customers. "We took steps immediately when the incident occurred and we are confident that exposures identified related to customer data have been closed off," BMO said. We are proactively contacting those customers that may have been impacted and we will support and stand by them," BMO said. (Chris Helgren/Reuters)"They'll even pick people inside banks and financial institutions and aim their attack at them," he said. The hacks revealed Monday are different, because, at least in BMO's case, it's the hackers themselves who tipped the bank off.
