JPMorgan botched mailing of replacement cards after cyber attack

JPMorgan Chase & Co mailed incorrect replacements for payment cards to about 4,000 people for the state of Connecticut after personal data stored at the bank was accessed in a cyber attack this summer. The bank made the mistake as it tried to reissue Connecticut-branded cards to pay unemployment compensation and tax refunds for the state, according to an announcement from Connecticut Treasurer Denise Nappier. JPMorgan notified the state of the error on Thursday, the statement said. The security breach had affected 14,335 accounts in Connecticut and some 465,000 across the country.
