JPMorgan Chase & Co. is warning some 465,000 holders of prepaid cash cards 
issued by the bank that their personal information may have been accessed 
by hackers who attacked its network in July.

The cards were issued for corporations to pay employees and for government 
agencies to issue tax refunds, unemployment compensation and other 
benefits.

JPMorgan said Wednesday it had detected that the web servers used by its 
site www.ucard.chase.com had been breached in the middle of September. It
