Hackers inflitrated the security systems of the nation's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, months ago and went undiscovered until a recent routine scan.

These latest revelations suggest that the hackers back in June took advantage of a security flaw in "the digital equivalent of JPMorgan's front door," Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the investigation.

Once inside the corporate network, the hackers used sophisticated programs to steal gigabytes of information, including customer-account data, until a routine scan performed recently triggered an alarm.
