JP Morgan Chase has admitted that it was a subject of a hack earlier this month. Very few details have been released, but the FBI is investigating this incident, along with similar incidents that may have occurred at up to four other banks.
According to Chase, large amounts of sensitive data may have been stolen, including checking and savings account numbers.
At this point, changing your password, enabling two-step authentication (it is ironic that I wrote today's tip about two-step authentication last weekend and scheduled it for today), and watching your accounts carefully is your best option.
Finally, remember that scammers will be taking advantage of this situation to send out emails in an attempt to trick you into giving up your personal information. Never click a link in an email supposedly from your bank or type in personal information into a website unless you have specifically visited your bank's site.
