The next financial crisis could be caused by something weird, like a cyberattack to wipe out or alter banking records at a large (or even medium-size) bank. The opportunity cost of the old debate about deregulation is that our public agencies can't think about new kinds of risks.

I'm certain they've thought of that one (in fact it's even mentioned in the 2013 PRG post-Snowden report).

Yes, parts of the government have thought about this. Do bank regulators have a resolution plan when this happens? Is the FDIC liable for insuring bank deposits about which it has no information?

You presumably know the answers better than I, but I'm more confident in the former than the latter.
