U.S law enforcement officials have arrested five individuals who reportedly were involved in the high-profile 2014 computer hacking of JPMorgan.
Three of the individuals were arrested for stock manipulation while the other two were arrested for running an illegal Bitcoin exchange, according to the FBI.
Grand jury indictments unsealed Tuesday for each don’t mention the JPMorgan attacks, but sources told both the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg that all five individuals are people of interest in the FBI’s investigation of the JPMorgan attack. The perpetrators of that attack stole the login credentials of a JPMorgan employee and used it to access 90 of the company’s servers.
