DDoS

"Reports that the Banks of America's website has been experiencing some downtime due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by the pro-WikiLeaks and pro-piracy group Anonymous have been confirmed."

This could have been verified by Twitter. Come on. Although, it appears that the attacks did very little, if anything. I predict more attacks in the future, until they actually cause some amount of problems with Bank of America.


Bank of America is now also reportedly buying domains that could be offensive against Bank of America in preparation for the possible WikiLeaks dump of BoA documents in the near future. Names purchased include names targeting Brian Monyihan, BoA's CEO, such as "BrianMoynihanSucks.com" and "BrianMoynihanBlows.com".

In my opinion, this makes it clear that even if Bank of America is not the target of WikiLeaks' next dump, that they definitely have something to hide. And will clearly be a target in the near future, if not the immediate future. It's like saying "I didn't do it" before someone even finishes their sentence. It puts blame on them, whether it was originally there or not.


And just a bit of a warning, but crimes and scams being perpetrated through Twitter are on the rise. Common scams are hijacked accounts, social media identity theft, worms, DOS attacks, botnet controllers, phishing, Twitter porn, and Twitter spam. Being aware of this can help people from losing their accounts or having their computers be damaged.
