Chase.com goes down due to third party DB issues, apologizes...eventually

From Data Center Knowledge:

"The Chase.com online banking portal is back online and processing customer bill payments that were delayed during lengthy outages Tuesday and Wednesday, the company said this morning.

The Chase web site crashed Monday evening when a third party vendor’s database software corrupted the log-in process, the bank told the Wall Street Journal. Chase said no customer data was at risk and that its telephone banking and ATMs functioned as usual throughout the outage."

Unfortunately there was no communication during the event, and finally got a message out to customers that visited the website four days after the first outage:

The "we're sorry" message is well done, but overall...not good.
