Bank of America is down.
Someone claiming to be Anonymous is claiming to have taken Bank of America down.
But wasn’t very long lived. The site is up and running with promotional redirects and everything.
Sometimes you have to wonder if bankers do this to get free advertisements at the head of a group that might not even care about Bank of America’s front end.
seems fishy the site goes down and comes back with updates.
It seems during the period of time that all of the internet is flipping upside down from hackers, attackers and ddos assaults Gawkers has been compromised. Passwords have been stolen and account information has been stolen. Here is a letter I received from Gawker.
This weekend we discovered that Gawker Media’s servers were compromised,
resulting in a security breach at Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Gawker, Jezebel,
io9, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Deadspin, and Fleshbot. As a result, the user name
and password associated with your comment account were released on the
internet. If you’re a commenter on any of our sites, you probably have
several questions.We understand how important trust is on the internet, and we’re deeply
sorry for and embarrassed about this breach of security. Right now we
are working around the clock to improve security moving forward. We’re
also committed to communicating openly and frequently with you to make
sure you understand what has happened, how it may or may not affect you,
and what we’re doing to fix things.This is what you should do immediately: Try to change your password in
the Gawker Media Commenting System. If you used your Gawker Media
password on any other web site, you should change the password on those
sites as well, particularly if you used the same username or email with
that site. To be safe, however, you should change the password on those
accounts whether or not you were using the same username.We’re continually updating an FAQ (http://lifehac.kr/eUBjVf) with more
information and will continue to do so in the coming days and weeks.Gawker Media

From the way it looks, by what this guy is saying about youtube and itunes get hacked, the bug is still not fixed.
Looks like all you have to do is type <script> in a comment and then a correct command code for a specified normal script to run, and you nail visitors with a pop up message that is scary. like one pop up says the victim is infected so to fix the issue is to delete a very important folder. Nice.
I have no idea who could have done such a thing G wiz that is nifty.
Sad part is knowing that Google owns youtube. and apple owns itunes. Google can locate them. Apple won’t let them getting busted be publicly known. In fact this is the first I read about it and it has been one week since the incident.
o.O
Someone’s gonna come up missing very soon.
