A massive data breach that began under the Biden administration was just now discovered at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), one of the biggest bank regulators. This means hackers have had access–for years–to sensitive data on American financial institutions.

Regulators were bashing banks for supposedly lax security practices while their own systems had been compromised. This is the Laurel and Hardy agency that wants more power over the banks?
