Following this, the Better Business Bureau has issued a warning after the massive data breach at J.P. Morgan Chase. The statement tells consumers to expect a wave of phishing attacks from scam artists attempting to capitalize on the incident.

The bank says that no account numbers, passwords, or social security numbers were stolen. However, the bureau warns that scammers will use the announcement to scare consumers into providing that sensitive information.
