The computer system of JP Morgan, which is the largest American bank, it’s over between June and July under attack by hackers, according to a report from the New York Times , have ties with Italy or with other countries of southern Europe. The pirates have really done great things: for the experts is, in fact, one of the most important cyber raid in history. The names, home addresses, cell phone numbers, email of 83 million customers at risk after they have cracked the website server chase.com and jpmorgan.com through a “malware” (malicious code) able to steal data sensitive and useful to withdraw funds or to assume the identity of the defrauded. When the bank if they have noticed and has blocked the entry points of the system, hackers had already had access to more than ninety server. And the bank accounts of two-thirds of American families. THE PRIME rumors the attack on the American giant had already come out in the press Use this summer: the first rumors, it seemed the intrusion occurred through the personal computer of one of its employees in mid-August, coinciding with the new sanctions against Moscow, that have targeted some large Russian banks. And in April, just the Jp Morgan had blocked the payment by dell’Amba – skiing in the Russian affiliate of a bank, causing the reaction of the Russian Foreign Ministry that had defined this behavior as “illegal and absurd”. Revenge of the Kremlin? In recent months, the authorities and investigators were consistently cautious: even if it is true that the majority of cyber attacks against several companies 
American came from China, Russia and Eastern Europe, according to experts it is early to draw conclusions. Now the raids seem to match by European pirates or as a base in southern Europe.’s Not all. The documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission provide a snapshot of the problem quite different from that taken in the summer: some 76 million people and 7 million small businesses have been the subject of cyber-attack summer, more than a million account indicated above. She stated that the bank was not stolen sensitive data such as passwords, dates of birth or identification numbers of the social security (the American tax code). The financial information of customers have not been so compromised and no one will have to pay for unauthorized transactions. Until now JP Morgan has always ensured as a result of such accidents not even a dollar of its customers has been stolen: the money “are safe.” The defenses will be increased, however, and the alarm is so high that some top managers have been forced to leave Florida where they had gathered for a conference and to fly quickly in New York. THE NEWS arrives for another in an already difficult time for the reputation of the digital economy Usa, shaken by the theft of 40 million names of holders of credit cards last year by giant Target, and in September the data of 56 million cards Credit for Home Depot have been violated. In recent years there have been different hacker attacks against several American financial institutions, and many of these have investigated and still investigating, FBI agents. In response to repeated incursions of the Wall Street banks were also forced to give regularly to the Fed and the SEC (Consob American) all possible information about the breaches opened by hackers in their systems. The heads of JP Morgan had promised to invest in cyber security $ 250 million and 1,000 experts by the end of 2014 Perhaps the forecasts will be revised upwards.
