JP Morgan Chase has alerted thousands of its Chicago-area millionaire
clients, as well as some of its own employees, that it cannot locate a
computer tape containing their account information and Social Security
numbers.

The tape, which was in a locked container, was being transported from a
bank location to an off-site facility last month when it went astray, a JP
Morgan spokesman said. It is not clear if the tape arrived at its
destination or was lost along the way.

The tape contained data from JP Morgan's private-client services business,
which provides financial services to clients who have a net worth of
between $1m (€733,135) and $25m, the spokesman said. The tape also
included data belonging to JP Morgan employees. Some 47,000 accounts were
affected.
