Background

Julian Assange, said in an interview that he intended to “take down” a major American bank and reveal an “ecosystem of corruption” with a cache of data from an executive’s hard drive.

A team of 15 to 20 top Bank of America officials, led by the chief risk officer, Bruce R. Thompson, has been overseeing a broad internal investigation — scouring thousands of documents in the event that they become public, reviewing every case where a computer has gone missing and hunting for any sign that its systems might have been compromised.

Whether Mr. Assange is bluffing, or indeed has Bank of America in its sights at all, the bank’s defense strategy represents the latest twist in the controversy over WikiLeaks and Mr. Assange.

KROFT: One bank, Bank of America, had its stock go down three to five percent based on a rumor, maybe it's a rumor, maybe you know more about it, that you had the contents of a five gigabyte hard drive belonging to one of its executives.

ASSANGE: I won't make any comment in relation to that upcoming publication.

KROFT: You're certainly not denying it.

ASSANGE: You know, there'll be a process of elimination if we denied some and admitted others.

KROFT: So it could be Bank of America, might not be Bank of America, and you're just going to let them squirm until you get ready to…

ASSANGE: I think it's great. We have all these banks squirming, thinking maybe it's them.
