No bank and no security agency, in Germany or anywhere else, has warned of such an attack. The only thing on the calendar for November 17 is a long-announced appointment: in the United States, the disaster management agency FEMA and the media regulator FCC are testing their nationwide emergency alert system over radio and television. That test has nothing to do with your bank account or your internet connection in Germany.
