J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +2.48% won't notify those customers who have been affected by its summer security breach -- estimated to be two-thirds of U.S. households -- that their personal information was exposed, a spokesperson for the bank told MarketWatch. When asked why, the spokesperson said, "That's just what we're doing." The nation's largest bank said yesterday in a government filing that the breach affected 76 million U.S. households and 7 million small businesses, compromising names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and "internal JPMorgan Chase information relating to such users." The bank has posted a notice on its website and mobile app advising customers of  an "important update about cyber security.”
