Attacks on Internet services such as the take-down of TD Bank’s online service tend to pass into history too quickly. Banks being what they are, there is a tendency for them to say “sorry” and then hope the public forgets about the incident. It must be clear that these disruptions are not the private business of the banks and that they require the most complete and on-going explanations possible. It isn’t just a matter of the inconvenience. The public, business and indeed the government owe a duty to the country to know from whom such attacks originate. Are they a precursor of more serious attacks to come? We understand that there may be security issues related to the investigations but it is important that it be made clear that attacks on public systems are being rigorously investigated.
