JPMorgan Chase Bank has a bug that allows customers to access others’ bank accounts
Recently, a number of JPMorgan clients’ account information was exposed online due to a “glitch” on the bank’s website. This comes from some customers trying to log in to their own bank account, but unexpectedly entered the accounts of some other customers.
According to a blog by a man named Jason Kessler on the 21st of this month, something happened when his fiancée tried to log into his bank account to see the year-end statement. She found that although she entered the correct username and password, the page did not show her bank account information. Instead, the account belongs to a man named “Lev” in New Jersey.
Like checking your account, the page details Lev’s bank card number, login information, home address, phone number, and other sensitive information.
We can also see through the screenshots, Lev’s account below the binding of two bank cards, and have balances. Anyone who accesses the account will be able to use Quickpay to transfer it out and then leave only the weeping Lev.

Kessler immediately responded to the situation Chase, according to the bank’s customer service staff, there have been other customers have responded to a similar situation.
Patricia Wexler, JPMorgan’s director of public relations, said the incident took place between 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm EST on Wednesday on the evening of the 17th and only a limited number of customers were affected, not the result of malicious attacks.
Wexler stressed that although it is not clear what caused the accident, she was sure it was not a hacker. Some security researchers said the accident had some connection to bank mobile apps and pointed out that Chase has released an update last Thursday to address the issue.
