Rumors of a massive data breach at Bank of America sent shockwaves through the financial markets yesterday, with sensitive information from over 100,000 customers exposed. The breach, which is believed to have occurred in the past week, has left investors reeling and analysts predicting a potential 5% decline in the Dow Jones index. Shares in Bank of America plummeted 4.2% in early trading, wiping out billions of dollars in market value. The breach has also raised concerns about the bank's cybersecurity measures and the potential for future attacks.
