Urgent: Checking and savings account information stolen from major banks
Kommando.com ^ | 8-27-14 | Kim Kommando

Word has leaked that JPMorgan Chase and possibly four other banks have been hacked. Details are scarce at this point, but the FBI and other government agencies are involved in the investigation.

The hack allegedly took place earlier in August and hackers have siphoned off huge amounts of sensitive data from Chase, including checking and savings account information.

Even more concerning, sources say that the attack goes "far beyond the capabilities of ordinary hackers." Given the timing, some security experts are speculating it was the work of high-level Russian hackers.

According to an inside source, there has been no increase in fraud at JPMorgan Chase since the hack. However, it doesn't change the fact that if you're a Chase customer your most sensitive financial information may now be in the hands of criminals.

Has anybody sued the college?

Directory was published yearly, and the practice stopped in the 90's, typical court approved settlement, money for lawyers, free life lock for victims, does nothing to stop those who buy debt paper that is past any legal recourse who use fake caller ids to harras people into paying for debt they don't owe.

Does nothing.

So long as you get it handled now, you should be fine. I found out about most of these bogus accounts long after the companies involved sold off the bad debt.

Mine and my husband’s info was stolen because of this. I’m trying to figure out what to do about it. It’s a HIPAA violation for sure. And the hospital is responsible. Supposed to be offering us identity theft protection.

Supposedly our health info wasn’t accessed. I don’t believe that for a second.

Thinking of contacting an attorney.

Sounds like more Putin terrorism.

Or to be more specific, the hackers may have been working for the Russian FSB (the successor to the KGB) but done in a way there is plausible deniability.

My mattress is looking more secure every day!

Your mattress can catch on fire and burn. Please transfer your money to a glass jar and bury it in your yard. Make a map with X marking the spot and send it to me as a security feature in case you forget the location.

This article is pure, unadulterated BS.

The tipoff is the article’s conclusion:

“I protect my checking and savings account information from fraud with my advertiser LifeLock”

Basically, this article is nothing more than an alarmist infomercial for “Lifelock”.

Since the FBI can’t find Lerners emails we can rest assured the FBI won’t be able to find out where the hack came from. It seems the Keystone Cops are running the FBI these days

I get free LifeLock every time an institution I deal with gets hacked. I have yet to receive any notifications from them that indicate a hack or have prevented an ID theft. Either that is a testament to their effectiveness or their uselessness.

I feel so much better investing in those Mason jars several years ago and canning my money....

Screw the banks and may they go the way of the Dodo bird.

Dude you are screwed. That is exactly why I have been talking my wife into dropping off the grid as much as possible.

Closing accounts, closing CDs, everything in cash, walk up paying bills if possible, living off the land.

Almost there....next endeavor....free range rabbits in their own personal enclosure. Only provision for them is water and a bullet to the growing bunnies twice a year for range management.

Let some asswipe hack that..

Sounds like BS to me. Also, Lifelock is nothing but pure extortion. "You wouldn't want anything to happen to your credit would you. Well, pay me and I will make sure nothing happens." BS!

We’ve reached a point in the information age where the notion of information security is an illusion.

Not possible Putin is a Saint. A number of Freepers have assured me of that.
