U.S. bank Wells Fargo suffered DDoS-attack


Major U.S. bank Wells Fargo today announced that its online banking system faced an unusually high volume of traffic resulting from DDoS-attack.

"Much of the customers was not affected, as customer data remains secure," - said Bridget Braxton, a spokeswoman for Wells Fagro.

According to her, customers who can not use online banking at the moment, can try to access the system online resources later, maybe in a few hours.
