JPMorgan said last October that names,
addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of about 83 million
customers were exposed in a hacking attack, making it one of the
biggest data breaches in history.
Law enforcement officials believe that several of the suspects
are "gettable," meaning that they live in a country with which
the United States has an extradition treaty, the newspaper
reported. (http://nyti.ms/1Ckt7T8)
The case is advancing quickly partly because the attack was not
as sophisticated as initially believed, and law enforcement
authorities were able to identify at least some suspects early
on, the Times reported.
The investigation is being handled at the highest levels of law
enforcement, with the FBI in New York assigning several senior
agents to the matter along with a top prosecutor with the
computer crimes division at Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara's office, the newspaper said.
JPMorgan officials declined to comment.
The FBI and Bharara's office were not immediately available for
comment outside regular U.S. business hours.
