Dec 11, 2012 (The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Some PNC Bank customers may experience difficulty logging onto the bank's website, following a warning from a computer hacking group that it planned cyberattacks on PNC and other large banks.

PNC spokeswoman Amy Vargo said on Tuesday that the Downtown-based bank was aware of some intermittent problems, but she encouraged customers to try logging again if they have trouble the first time.

A computer hacking group, which claimed responsibility for disruptive attacks on PNC Bank and a half-dozen other large U.S. banks in September, on Monday said U.S. banks would be hit again in coming days.
