JPMorgan Chase Reports Massive Data Breach 
-------------------------------------------


 
JPMorgan Chase has disclosed one of the largest corporate data breaches
in U.S. history. While the hack had been previously disclosed, prior
estimates said only about one million accounts had been impacted. Now,
the banks says 76 million household accounts and seven million small
businesses' accounts were compromised as hackers penetrated deep into
its systems, gathering customers' names and contact information. The
hack went undetected for two months.
