The Pittsburgh-based bank seems to be the latest victim in reported cyber attacks on major banks in U.S.
Some PNC Bank customers have reported problems Thursday logging into their online accounts. The Post-Gazette is reporting that the Pittsburgh-based institution apparently is the latest victim in a wave of cyber attacks on major U.S. banks. Bank spokesman Fred Solomon told the Post-Gazette Thursday morning that if a customer can't reach the website or log-in on the first attempt, the customer should just return to the site a little later.
