re: 76 million chase accounts hacked

Chase says (if you believe them) just contact info like addresses and phone numbers were taken, Not passwords.

I can believe that. Having user names and passwords stored in a separate system that the hackers weren't able to access doesn't seem unreasonable except for the fact that they're surprised it didn't happen. The state sponsored angle makes sense. If Russia/China were to drain the accounts of 20% of Americans, that's an act of war. But perhaps it was done by the KGB to show the CIA "we can breach your banks too so stop trying to shut down our botnet."
