A wave of bank cyber attacks has resumed, with many JPMorgan Chase & Co. customers unable to access their Internet banking accounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Chase was targeted by the latest in a series of denial-of-service attacks, which overwhelm websites with phony requests so that legitimate customers can\u2019t get through.<\/p>\n
A group identifying itself as Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters has been attacking American banks off and on since September. The group, based in the Middle East, says the attacks are retaliation for a video, produced by amateur U.S. filmmakers, that mocks the prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n
In a pastebin.com post, the group threatened to attack U.S. banks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays \u201cbecause of widespread and organized offends to Islamic spirituals and holy issues.\u201d <\/p>\n
The website sitedown.co, which allows Internet users to report crashes of corporate sites, recorded 213 reports of problems with Chase’s website in the 24 hours that ended at 7:40 p.m. <\/p>\n
The site showed 917 reports of Chase outages over the last month, compared with 453 at AT&T, 415 at Netflix, 351 at Bank of America and 107 at Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n
