[All Things Quality] Perhaps They Should Have Tested More - J.P. Morgan Chase
Millions of customers who bank online with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. lost electronic access to their accounts as the company's website suffered a severe outage starting Monday at 11:00 PM ET.
At one time today the Chase site reportedly indicated it was undergoing "scheduled system maintenance". But as of 8:30 PM ET, the site now says "Our website is temporarily unavailable. We're working quickly to restore access. Please log on later."
There's no indication yet when this outage is expected to end.
- The result of a flaw in a software program tailored for J.P. Morgan.
- More than 16 million computer and iPhone users impacted
- The Chase outage "appeared to be unusually lengthy"
- People can't check their balances or pay their bills online
- Affects both businesses and consumers

Perhaps Chase should have tested more.
