U.S. banks with Paris offices on alert due to terror threats

""Anyone who's working for a U.S. bank - and any American - should consider their safety around this." - Holden Triplett, co-founder of risk advisory firm Trenchcoat Advisors"

""[Banks] are a symbolic piece of the U.S. economy that are all throughout the world. It's also critical infrastructure. And so, for a lot of the conflicts that we have now, where it's harder to hurt the U.S. militarily, they'll go after these economic targets, like banks." - Holden Triplett"

In response to a thwarted bombing attempt in Paris, major U.S. banks have permitted employees to work from home. Security experts emphasize the need for banks to enhance their preparedness against potential terrorist attacks, especially given their symbolic status as representatives of the U.S. economy. Banks are viewed as critical infrastructure and targets for terrorist organizations. French authorities arrested individuals involved in a plot against a Bank of America office, highlighting the ongoing threat to financial institutions during the conflict with Iran.
