Business news in brief

Moody's Investors Services put on review for possible downgrade two series of bonds issued by New Jersey's Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, citing the pending closure of three Atlantic City casinos through Sept. 16. The closures will take 3,600 rooms out of use. The $63 million issue from 2004 was to be paid back by a $3-per-night hotel-room fee. The CRDA collected $10.7 million in hotel fees in 2013, down from $14 million 10 years ago. The second set of bonds, a $195 million issue from 2005, is secured by specific levies, including part of a $3 parking fee at Atlantic City casinos. Both issues have weak ratings, in the Baa range. - Harold Brubaker

Russian hackers attacked the U.S. financial system in mid-August, infiltrating and stealing data from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and at least one other bank, an incident the FBI is investigating as a possible retaliation for government-sponsored sanctions, according to two people familiar with the probe. The attack resulted in the loss of gigabytes of sensitive data, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the probe is still preliminary.
