every thing we see leads back to the great one's ...Buried in the federal indictments unsealed this week (http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/11/arrests-in-jp-morgan-etrade-scottrade-hacks/) against four men accused of stealing tens of millions of consumer records from JPMorgan Chase and other brokerage firms are other unnamed companies that were similarly victimized by the accused. One of them, identified in the indictments only as “Victim #12,” is an entity that helps banks block transactions for dodgy goods advertised in spam. Turns out, the hackers targeted this company so that they could more easily push through payments for spam-advertised prescription drugs and fake antivirus schemes.

G2 Web Services has not responded to multiple requests for comment.
