Cyber hassle: Data breaches cause headaches for Billings area banks and businesses
October 19, 2014 /
Billings-area banks and credit unions are sending thousands of new credit and debit cards to customers this month following data breaches at Home Depot and Albertsons.
The thefts have created headaches for consumers, financial institutions and small businesses, though most escaped serious losses. Security experts say that while data protection is improving, so are hackers’ skills at getting personal financial information.
"We tell people, it’s not a situation of if, it’s almost a case of when," said Roger Gravaard, owner of Billings-based Legal Shield, an ID theft protection firm.
