Banks enlist cyberspy agency to prevent attacks

In a sign that cyber attacks are becoming more damaging and sophisticated, top banks in the U.S. have enlisted the help of the ultra-secretive National Security Agency, reports The Washington Post.

“U.S. intelligence officials said last year they believe the attacks against the banks and other companies have been carried out by Iran, although some experts have cautioned that it is difficult to accurately determine who is behind them,” the report says.
