Three indicted in JPMorgan hacking case

On Tuesday, Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara’s office unsealed an indictment against three individuals charged with hacking several financial institutions, financial news publishers, and other companies.

In a statement to Reuters, JPMorgan confirmed that the recently unsealed indictment is connected to last year’s hack, which impacted 83 million households.

Monday’s indictment focuses on Gery Shalon, Joshua Samuel Aaron, and Ziv Orenstein.

In court documents shared with CSO Online, the prosecutors say that between 2012 and 2015, the three pulled off “the largest theft of customer data from a U.S. financial institution in history” by stealing the personal information of more than 100 million people.
