Bank of Montreal and Simplii Financial say they received reports on Sunday that client information had been compromised. Both banks say they’re investigating the alleged data exposure; neither has yet to confirm whether it believes the information was indeed accessed. BMO suspects that 50,000 of its 8 million Canadian clients’ personal and account information may have been accessed, according to BMO Financial Group. Bank says it believes attackers were operating from outside Canada; neither bank has been able to debunk those claims. The banks are directly contacting all customers that they believe may be affected.”]
