Russian hackers with links to Vladimir Putin's government were behind an enormous cyberattack on JP Morgan Chase this summer, security officials believe - and they could have targeted as many as nine other banks.
The huge security breach, which went on for months and affected 83million accounts, took place last June and let hackers see the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of customers.
Accounts belonging to 76million households - and a further 7million small businesses - were hit by the breach, which insiders have now said was even bigger than first feared.

My Comment: I know from my own sources in Moscow that the Edward Snowden NSA leaks were a shock to the Russian government. They always knew that the NSA/CIA/other U.S. intelligence agencies were using the internet to spy and monitor the Russian government/individuals/companies/etc. .... they just never knew how deep this surveillance was until Edward Snowden. Today .... their mindset (from Putin on down) is that they are now assuming that every Russian mobile devise, communications network, and Russian web site has been compromised. They are not happy with this state of affairs .... and in most cases .... downright "pissed-off". So .... are these cyber attacks against U.S. financial institutions nothing more but blow-back and a warning from Russia that the NSA is going too far .... let me put it to you this way .... I would not be surprised.

I don't think about this as a blow back for the NSA spying, but as a blow back for the economy sanctions imposed lately, and a signal to the US that they can cause some pain to the American economy.
Yup .... the economic sanctions too. I agree.
