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

Posted on 08/27/2014 7:30:24 PM PDT by TurboZamboni

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.

Mostly because a local college decided to use SSNs as student ID numbers

- - - - - -

The Ohio State University did that decades ago back when I attended. We even wrote our SSN is text books to be able to identify them if they were stolen.

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.

Seems parts of the FBI have been corrupted by the democrat party... But we have to pray that's only parts.. and that they can still function in other areas.

We had a Chase CC that we’d never used, too, and three months ago we found two charges under $30 from two transactions in L.A.

The chargeback covered it okay, but when you’ve NEVER used a CC, it has to be from inside. Now, that “inside” can mean someone got in that shouldn’t have.

The fraud lady said that people generate card numbers and sometimes hit the right expiration date, but she couldn’t tell me how my name came through from the card strip to their computers without having swiped or used the card, ever.

“Either that is a testament to their effectiveness or their uselessness”

I’ve yet to have an accident since I started wearing my seat belt every time I drive since decades ago. I consider wearing a seat belt extremely effective at preventing injuries.

Russians probably don’t ‘lose’ all their hard drives and blackberries.

IF the authorities do catch them, they should claim that they had a severe harddrive crash and after failure to recover data, had the drives wiped, mulched, and incinerated.

Lets think about this.

The FBI reports to our attorney general, who hates America and Americans if they are white.

So we have nothing to worry about.

Holder will stop this immediately after he stops starting race riots across America
