Capital One

Capital One, the Virginia-based bank with a popular credit card business, announced that a hacker had accessed about 100 million credit card applications.

It was also found that thousands of Social Security and bank account numbers were also taken.

The FBI has arrested a Seattle-area woman, Paige A. Thompson, on a charge of computer fraud and abuse, according to court records.

The hack was expected to cost the company between $100 million and $150 million in the near term.
