And it hardly got much GFYplay......

?If you wanted to send a message, do you think that was significant enough for the U.S. government to say one of the best banks that we have from a cybersecurity perspective was infiltrated by somebody?? Alexander asked. ?And if they could get in to do that, even if they never use it, they could get in and collapse it. Does that cause you concern??

And they're already talking about BAILOUTS again:

This didn't even pop on the news. The Home Depot thing barely made it into the news.

Corporate media outlets have orders not to scare consumers.
If Bloomberg announced it Bloomberg is banking on it.

Fuck bailing them out, let them fail. It will hurt, but the big bastard fails and little folk have a chance to pick up the pieces.

True they're very weary of stopping things that could freak people out or cause a run on a financial institution..... but its very obvious that a LOT of hacking is going on.

True. We were talking about that today.
Who?

Russians?
Chinese?
Samsung?/Koreans?
Anonymous?
IS
US
JIDF
All of the above?

It is HIGHLY likely to be the Russians - the promiximity to sanctions against Russia and who now has a vested interest?

If you trawl youtube, you will find countless videos of defence, government and financial analysts warning that any kind of sanctions against Russia could result in them unleashing their hackers. Actually its Jim Rickards who's been the loud voice on the subject.

And its as though they've been watching his videos because it happened exactly as he said it would. However, the issue is that what Russia is doing right now is just the tip of the iceberg - they're not causing damage, they're providing a serious warning just to show what they're capable of.

JPM was a very hard target and they broke it with ease. The problem is that nobody noticed, so they went to great pains to leave some evidence to show what they did.

So what the fuck did they get?

[Barry-xlovecam]

[T]he hackers infiltrated the networks of the banks, siphoning off gigabytes of data, including checking and savings account information, in what security experts described as a sophisticated cyberattack. ...
... the recent hacks against the American banks were not intended to disrupt the bank?s services but appeared to be part of a financial or intelligence-gathering effort, three people briefed on the investigations said. ...

Banks need to use SELINUX or AIX and get rid of Microsoft servers and desktops. Most zero day exploits are Windows/Microsoft ASP issues. When they talk about "employee computers with viruses" they are taking about Windows desktops just neglecting to say that to shelter Microsoft's or the Bank's IT department from culpability and liability of deploying patches in a timely manner. Patching insecure code has to be a top priority in computing.

The banks in question got sloppy and got hacked.

There are multiple dark sides to the Internet ... The "Hackers" have the offensive ... We are just reacting and not taking the proactive steps necessary to minimize the possible losses. Thus: The banks in question got sloppy and got hacked.

After reading the NYTimes article posted by Barry I think it is too early to tell. Banks have so many enemies, from within US and outside. Also, the people who use JPMorgan could be targets as well. China could just as easily be gathering data on its wealthiest ex-pats as that pot has been brewing this year as China's elite flees the mainland.
Will be interesting to see what is reported.

It's highly likely to be the Russians and I would put it at 80% plus odds of them being responsible. Look at how many major sites have been hacked since sanctions were imposed on Russia. If you take the same period before sanctions, it is probably multi-fold increase in a very short space of time. It could be the Chinese as they are not on the best of terms with the USA but they are not at war with the USA.

By most analysts accounts, Russia IS at war with the USA and Europe..... it is not a conventional, military or ground war (yet and hopefully never will be). It is cold war and a financial war and could take many forms.

The US and most of Asia are at war with China. US does not make much of it as US is not prepared to deal with it full on. US is praying to the money gods that China and Russia do not unite. They are already cooperating on many levels. If China and Russia unite they will crush the West. But maybe you have some inside info the FBI, Secret Service and security firms do not have.

What planet are you living on? Relations are not good but the USA is definitely NOT at war with China. They're the biggest trading partners in the world and Chinese hold almost $4 trillion of US denominated debt. Maybe you have some inside information that the FBI, Secret Service, NSA, etc don't have?

As for Russia and China uniting - they are already allied as you should be well aware. They just signed a $400 BN energy deal between them that allows energy trade outside of the USD - another dagger in the heart of the petrodollar. It's also common knowledge that they have strong military and strategic connections.

During the financial crisis when the markets were crashing, the Russians contacted the Chinese and encouraged them to join them in dumping bonds so they could bring the USA on its knees (the Chinese declined)....

[January 29, 2010]
Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Russia urged China to dump its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds in 2008 in a bid to force a bailout of the largest U.S. mortgage-finance companies, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said.

On September 6, 2008, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), James B. Lockhart III, announced his decision to place two Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), into conservatorship run by the FHFA.[1][2][3]

At the same press conference, United States Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, stated that placing the two GSEs into conservatorship was a decision he fully supported, and that he advised "that conservatorship was the only form in which I would commit taxpayer money to the GSEs." He further said that "I attribute the need for today's action primarily to the inherent conflict and flawed business model embedded in the GSE structure, and to the ongoing housing correction."[1]

The same day, the then Federal Reserve Bankchairman Ben Bernanke stated in support: "I strongly endorse both the decision by FHFA Director Lockhart to place Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship and the actions taken by Treasury Secretary Paulson to ensure the financial soundness of those two companies."[4] The following day, Herbert M. Allison was appointed chief executive of Fannie Mae. He came from TIAA-CREF.[5]

You should realize that most of what was said in the last 2 quarters of 2007 and the first 2 quarters of 2008 was a pack of lies and the result of financial manipulation to cover the financial manipulation of previous years.

No mia culpa and in 2014 how many of these thieves have been prosecuted?
