No matter how you feel about the WikiLeaking of the U.S. State Department documents, you have to admit this — the opportunity for risk exposure in our brave new increasingly connected world is growing by leaps and bounds.
And whether you consider WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a freedom-of-speech hero, an international spy who should be executed for treason, or just another guy accused of sexual assault, you have to agree that he's got a lot of people scared of him.
Like Bank of America, for one. Just last week, after the exiled Assange announced to Forbes that the target of his next document dump would involve a “major American bank,” BOA's stock took a hit. The latest news is that the financial giant is gearing up for whatever may come by setting up a “war room” to deal with the fallout — even though there has never been definitive proof that they're the target of Assange's next attack.
