When contacted by Reuters, Fidelity spokesman
Vincent Loporchio said in an email, "We have no indication that
any Fidelity customer sites, accounts, information, services or
systems were affected by this matter."
The company gave no further details.
JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, said last week that
the names, addresses, telephone numbers and emails of 76 million
households had been compromised by a cyber attack, making it one
of the largest such thefts on record.
The newspaper, which attributed its information to two people
familiar with the matter, said the attacks are now believed to
involve more than a dozen targets and originated in Russia.

Not all the 13 institutions’ security infrastructure was
breached, FT said. The U.S. Secret Service and Federal Bureau of
Investigation are leading an investigation.
JPMorgan is the only company to have confirmed that information
was stolen.
