The end of August revealed by American
Media
and JP Morgan Chase confirmed data theft of data is far greater than arrived. As the bank said on Thursday evening in New York in a mandatory notification to the SEC, the perpetrators in the digital raid data of 76 million private customers and 7 million corporate customers have fallen into their hands. The data include names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Also, the cyber criminals have gained access to internal bank data and the customer can assign the various fields, such as mortgages or car loans now.
Account data is not affected
According to the mandatory notification JP Morgan has no found evidence that the criminals were able to gain access to important account information such as account number, date of birth, password or social security number. Also we have been able to find any beyond the normal measure irregularities in the accounts of affected customers. JP Morgan in the United States approximately 65 million customers; in about half of American households has at least one person a business relationship with JP Morgan. Affected by data theft
The measure of America’s deposits biggest bank quantified data theft were also former customers and those customers in the United Bank had not, but had logged on the site to process transactions. Now belongs thus the most severe cases of cyber-crime in the United States. With 83 million customers around a third of American households are affected. The numbers on Thursday night published by JP Morgan found for immediately made their way into the evening news and were on Friday the title theme of all the major newspapers in the United States. American consumers are already suffering comes to data theft checked. From the online retailers Ebay about data had been stolen from 145 million customers in a Datenraubzug in May. The retailer Target had involuntarily given up last year in a digital intrusion data of 110 million customers, and at the Home Depot had 56 million customers affected.
While most cyber attacks are not up to very sensitive data penetrate as credit card information, had the perpetrators can also capture credit card information at Target and Home Depot. In both cases together them credit card details are 126 million Americans fell into the hands. And three years ago, hackers access to the exchange operator Nasdaq had procured; they had, however, can not penetrate to the trade data. Little is yet known about the extent to which the credit card information is collected and used
In comparison with the majority of recent large cases, the data theft at JP Morgan takes at first sight less severe from -., The mainly because no sensitive data such as credit card information was stolen. At second glance, however, it is extremely worrying for two reasons. Potentially, the cybercriminals have at America’s biggest bank for a fact can capture much more sensitive data than about the affected retailers. Banks have generally invested by its clients extensive records containing data about the creditworthiness as salaries and other criminals potentially lucrative information. According to media reports, the hackers had already gained access to 90 servers at JP Morgan. On the other hand, the cyber attack taken by JP Morgan security measures throughout the industry in question. So far, the banks were considered safe. The last but not least, because they already operate an enormous security effort.
FBI and CIA identify
According to anonymous sources cited in various media, were in the case of JP Morgan criminals or . been discovered until the end of July at the Bank’s internal tests which the data spying software. The hackers are, writes the “New York Times”, a list of at JP Morgan used software programs and applications to be approached and they have knocked off for vulnerabilities. The cyber attack could, as is generally rumored to have originated in Russia. The Federal Police, FBI and the Secret Service to investigate the case. Possibly other banks have been hit in the USA by cyber criminals on a large scale. This presumption in any case had become loud, the JP Morgan case became known as the end of August. So far, these assumptions have not been confirmed
