Three indicted in U.S. over big JPMorgan hacking

Source: Reuters

U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday unveiled expanded criminal charges against three men in connection with a massive 2014 cyberattack against JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and the hacking of several other major financial companies and financial news publishers.

Gery Shalon, Joshua Samuel Aaron and Ziv Orenstein were charged in a 23-count indictment over crimes including computer hacking, securities fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, illegal Internet gambling and conspiring to commit money laundering.

Victims of the scheme included financial services companies in New York; Boston; Omaha, Nebraska; St. Louis; Charlotte, North Carolina and elsewhere, the indictment said.

Shalon and Orenstein are Israeli nationals who were arrested in July. Aaron is a U.S. citizen who has lived in Moscow and Tel Aviv, authorities have said.

foreclosure, playing their part in stealing trillions of dollars in wealth from homeowners with the help of their politicians, and we want to arrest some hackers who hurt them?

That's like protecting a babysitting service that employs pedophiles.

So when are we going to see indictments for hackers who got into the VA and stole our military's personal information? But Golden sacks gets instant results. Of course the claims of China did it weren't used when the banksters got hacked.
