Capital One has been hit by a nationwide outage, preventing
customers from sending payments or accessing their money.
Downdetector, a website that monitors online issues, shows
the bank's services went down starting around 5am ET.
Customers reported issues with making deposits, accessing
account balances and online login.
One Capital One user claimed they spoke to a manager who
said that the bank has been having issues with early
deposits since Wednesday.
'He stated if not posted by regular pay date, then to
file a claim with them,' they said.
Many people are frustrated over their direct deposit not
reflecting in their accounts.
. . .
And they wonder why I still get payments via
physical checks rather than DD .......
After all we've seen the past year or so, no
matter what the bank SAYS we're almost surely
looking at a Chinese/Russian hack into their
system. Both have proven able and eager to
get into EVERYTHING.
Look folks ... our 'online everything' trend
has become our greatest weakness in the face
of increasingly aggressive enemies. Past time
for a big re-think ... IF there's still time.
On the flip, C1 was just yesterday blasted
for CHEATING about two BILLION from its
customers by offering high interest and
then, quietly, NOT paying it.
