New York, NY – A bank boo-boo has found its way onto the Internet. And now the very personal information of thousands of Chase Bank customers could find its way into the hands of identity thieves.

A new video on YouTube flaunting the personal information of Chase Bank customers is getting a lot of attention.
"Social Security Numbers here as well as date of birth," one person could be heard saying on the video. Bank statements, credit reports and other personal documents were seen being unearthed in the video.
Researchers for the Service Employees International Union, which is battling the banking giant over its use of non-union security employees, found the documents out in the open. They were found in trash bags that were left outside several New York City Chase branches.
Many bank customers are very careful with their personal information, and are not amused at the public revelations about account information.
Chase customer, Robert Lipper, said, "It's pretty scary that your data could be out there."
Chase responded in a written statement, which read: "We take these allegations and privacy of customer information very seriously and are investigating the information provided by the union. We have reached out to the union to get additional information." [WCBS]
I wouldn’t put it past the Union maffia to have planted the evidence there.
I find it hard to believe that Chase did not follow general banking practices.
