Let’s start with the second paragraph of this article.

Bank of America serves at least 69 million people.

Bank of America serves approximately 69 million clients at over 3,800 retail financial centers and through approximately 15,000 ATMs in the United States, its territories, and more than 35 countries. /blockquote>

According to one of the headings, Lockbit took responsibility for the attack.
