Customer data from companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley may have been stolen

According to the New York Times, companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley have been notified by SitusAMC that their customer data may have been compromised.

SitusAMC, a technology provider that offers real estate loan and mortgage origination and servicing for hundreds of banks and other lending institutions, confirmed on Saturday that it was a victim of a cyberattack. The company confirmed that the leaked data is related to residential mortgage loans.

SitusAMC CEO Michael Franco stated that law enforcement has been notified and the company is focused on analyzing any potentially affected data. FBI Director Kash Patel mentioned that they are working closely with affected organizations and partners to understand the extent of the potential impact, but no operational impact on banking services has been found so far.

A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase stated that the bank itself was not directly attacked. SitusAMC holds a large amount of personal data from loan applications, including sensitive information such as Social Security numbers. Additionally, as the company provides services such as regulatory compliance, it may also possess sensitive information regarding the bank's own internal operations and the risks associated with its real estate asset holdings.
