US federal authorities are confident in the successful completion of the case of hacking JPMorgan Chase & Co
The federal authorities investigating the hacking case of JPMorgan Chase & Co last summer are confident of a successful completion of the case. The New York Times reports that several suspects are “available”: they are in countries with which the US has an extradition agreement.
In August 2014, hackers launched attacks on five US banks. As a result of a hacker attack on the oldest financial conglomerate on the planet, data of 83 million clients were stolen - email addresses and phone numbers. The funds from the attack were not stolen as a result of the attack. It was one of the biggest cyber attacks on the bank and a warning that the US financial system was vulnerable. JPMorgan spends $ 250 million a year on security and plans to double this amount in the future.
The arrest of the suspects will be a success for the FBI and the US Attorney in Manhattan Prit Bharara. As a comparison, there are cases of Target hacking in December 2013, when payment card data was stolen from 40 million clients and 70 million personal information, and on eBay and Home Depot hacks in 2014, when hackers received data from hundreds of millions of companies ’customers: As a result, not a single criminal case was opened, writes The New York Times .
Authorities plan to close the case within a few months. The cyber attack was not as difficult as the investigators had previously assumed, and the authorities were able to identify several suspects. The case is a priority for US law enforcement agencies after obtaining its status from the Department of Homeland Security.
