BIGGEST BANK IN US HACKED: JPMORGAN ADMITS DATA BREACH FOR 76 MN HOUSEHOLDS (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)

More than half of all households in the United States were affected by a data breach that occurred earlier this summer, JPMorgan Chase revealed on Thursday. The names, addresses, and numbers of millions of affected bank clients were stolen by hackers.

The largest bank in the country said in a regulatory filing that 76 million households and seven million businesses had their data compromised – including names, email addresses, home addresses, and phone numbers.

However, the bank said that all account holders’ money was safe, and that there is no evidence to suggest that even more sensitive information like Social Security numbers or passwords were stolen.

So far, the bank says it “continues not to have seen any unusual customer fraud related to this incident.”
