Another Hack, This Time BMO and CIBC

ByMatt

Is it just me or has there been a lot more fraud in the past 12 months or so? 

This time, nearly 100,000 clients have been affected. 
CIBC, more specifically their subsidiary, Simplii Financial, had more than 40,000 banking customers personal information stolen.
Bank of Montreal (BMO) also reported that up to 50,000 clients had their personal data stolen.

Ranking the Credit Card Portfolios of Each Canadian Financial Institutions (updated May 1, 2018)

ByMatt

A few companies need to be added to this list, so I thought it was due for an update from 6 months ago. Most of the ranking changes occurred in the bottom half of the list.
