Tom Walker, a partner on the Banking & Financial Services Industry Team in the Jackson office, was quoted in the American Banker article "Auditor's breach hit at least 9 banks, credit unions," published October 8, 2026. In the article, Tom discusses how information leaks at banks and credit unions typically occur through third-party vendors and emphasizes the need to contractually require prompt notice from vendors. He notes that otherwise, it is not uncommon for a bank to be notified of a breach months after the breach occurred, outside of the time frame regulators typically expect a bank to notify customers.
