The other major US custody bank, same institutional-only structure as State Street. BNY Mellon lost 10 unencrypted backup tapes in February 2008, with estimates of affected individuals rising from 4 million to as many as 10 million or more (Dark Reading, Aug. 29, 2008) — the kind of exposure that can reach people with no direct relationship with BNY, which is the defining characteristic of this layer.
