Was the JPMorgan Attack Part of a Larger Scheme?
Four have been arrested in connection with a series of fraudulent investment schemes involving penny stocks and Bitcoin that spanned the globe. Authorities suspect that some of the men arrested also had a hand in last summers hacking of JPMorgan, which compromised the contact information of 83 million bank customers. The huge computer attack may have been an attempt to fuel an ongoing pump-and-dump stock scheme. [7/22/15]
