Millions of Chase Customers See Bank Balance Reduced to
Zero
|
. Millions of Chase Bank customers were affected by an unfortunately timed glitch which resulted in their checking and savings accounts showing a zero balance for several hours yesterday, prompting many to take to Twitter and express panic that their money had been stolen. Reaction to the glitch was undoubtedly made more intense by the fact that the top global news story yesterday was about how residents of Cyprus were facing a mandatory “tax” that would see 10 per cent of their savings plundered for a banker bailout. After Chase was hit by a denial of service attack last week, the bank blamed an “internal” issue for the glitch which left shocked customers thinking their online and mobile banking accounts had been emptied of deposits. The issue was resolved by 7:30pm PST. ABC 7 reports that numerous customers heading to local ATMs and were relieved to see that their money was still in their accounts. “We have a technology problem regarding customers’ balance information,” Chase said in a statement. “It has nothing to do with cyber threats. It is an internal issue. We are very sorry to our customers for the inconvenience. This began earlier this evening. It is not confined to the West Coast.” Many took to Twitter to vent their anger, with innumerable people believing that their money had been stolen. Unsurprisingly, it seems that people who owed money to Chase did not see their debt reduced to zero. |

I guess the sheeple will wake up now. Take the money out of the bank. Any bank.
Whoa, it could be a dry run for the RV
This "Glitch" should be a lesson to the people to take out their money and keep it somewhere where they have more control of it! It is insane to me that with the knowlege today of how corrupt and untrustworthy these banks really are that the people have any trust left to allow these institutions to hold their money! To me this is like an early warning sign.. If the depositors don't take heed to it then I guess any future theift\losses by these bankers can be deemed in part the fault of those depositors that continued to put trust into these crooked banks! If I wanted to continue to use a bank I would at least keep my money in a local private owned bank and certainly not in these big banks with such bad reputations!
