Was Bank of America Hacked?

Seven days after Bank of America instituted a hugely unpopular $5 fee for debit card use and six days into widespread reports from customers about error messages, slow service and other problems accessing the home page or other parts of the bank’s website, speculation is mounting that this isn’t just a technical glitch.

Bank of America spokeswoman Tara Burke says, “The Bank of America online banking site is largely operating normally,” although the home screen up on Wednesday morning warned of potential delays in service. This is just “a disclosure of possible issues,” she says. People are taking to the blogosphere and social networking sites to gripe about website-related issues and ask: Is this the work of hackers?

I bank at Sun Trust and they are doing the same thing with the fees on my debit cart as BOA. Why have they skirted the MSM attention??? The announcement was in my small print notice in my August statement.

get over it...

By now you should know, and be smart enough to think that IF ONE BANK WILL OR CAN DO IT, THE REST FOLLOW SUITE...

Just know soon all banks will do the same because they know they can make money... So get used to switching banks a lot if it bothers you...

But more than likely you will stay with them and just bitch online about it...

I'm sick of morons....

Sounds like the best thing to do is take all of our money out of the bank before the real deal hits the fan.

Now we know why our grand parents didn't trust banks.

This is a result of Dodd/Durbin act. It has been all over the news.
Perhaps you numbnuts are so paranoid that you don't even watch the news anymore.

BTW Obama is coming to take away your guns... and mobile homes.

PNC is one of the only banks that has not announced a debit card fee. BTW, go to wawa and use the atm w/o a fee to get cash and then pay with cash.
