"Two people briefed on the matter said that an N.S.A. special team will sometimes work with a corporate victim of hackers to ensure that no trap doors remain." Well, no NSA backdoors, at least.

I think you mean "no non-NSA backdoors, at least."

One server without two factor got them owned? Makes you wonder what else was going on. Did they have ssh keys or something that got them further into the network?

That just got them onto a box within the network. That's the biggest hurdle. Once you're inside, you could start poking around for weaknesses and exploit whatever you find.

Oops, of course, yes that's what I meant.

The most advanced, at least in terms of haptic based cryptography, is owned by Bank of America in the US. When reading through the USPTO, I didn't see anything revolutionary owned by JPMorgan.

To me the awesome news here is that while the leak happened, it's accountable 100%. That's very swift closure compared to many, many other data breaches of the past.
