Lawsuit accuses JPMorgan of exposing Social Security numbers

[hvactec]

(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of printing Social Security numbers on the outsides of form letters mailed to customers to tell them about the bank's efforts to protect their private information.

Filed on Thursday in federal court in Chicago, the lawsuit accused the largest bank in the United States of violating federal and state laws and subjecting its customers to increased risk of identity theft.

A JPMorgan spokeswoman declined comment.

The allegations are another embarrassment for the financial company amid a rash of civil and criminal probes, ranging from the massive "London Whale" trading scandal to possible bribery in China.

Under ACA social security numbers are routinely released. That's why there's a warning on the website saying that there is no expectation of privacy. What should we do with a government that does not safeguard such personal information?

It's always okay when the Feds do it.

Because you can't reform this place anymore. Ultimately, violence is the decision maker, time and time again with regularity.

But as far as being "carpet bombed", that is just a metaphor. I'd settle for arrests.
