One more reason financial companies like Chase are ripe for attack
# These are requests required in order to simply look at checking accounts at Chase.com
# https://www.chase.com/checking
# One need not marvel at the parlous state of affairs in cybersecurity vis a vis major financial institutions
# when they rely on this many third-parties simply to show users a list of available checking accounts
# Attacks via Forbes stemmed from just this type of use of third party ad widgets (http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/02/pwned-in-7-seconds-hackers-use-flash-and-ie-to-target-forbes-visitors/)
# Maybe Obama and the NIST cybersecurity initiative (http://www.nist.gov/cyberframework/) could focus more on the leaking ship of information rather than attacking privacy
# Thanks to µBlock (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) and Live HTTP Headers (http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/) for the fantastic tools that make finding this stuff easy
