It’s a cyber-attack Friday!

It’s irritating when the Bank of America website goes down, sure, but keep in mind that it could be worse than you think. Remember a few months ago, when North Korean hackers took down some government websites? The “Bank of America website down” headlines indicate that there’s another cyber attack going on. Could it be North Korea again? Or maybe the outages are being caused by Iran or our “ally” China.

But we have a more serious problem than the “Bank of America website down” issue. Listen up, people. Star Trek Online is unable to authenticate its users. That’s right. Those damn hackers have struck the American nation right where it hurts the most: our geeks.

Think about it: the Bank of America website is down on the SAME DAY that the Star Trek Online is unable to authenticate its users. Wake up, sheeple!

Clearly, evil hackers are stopping our cyber-warrior task force from being able to congregate online. This is no joke. Imagine not being able to ever again check your checking account’s balance or fire a salvo in the great Kirk vs. Picard war.

Godspeed, IT managers. I pray that you put an end to the “Bank of America Website Down” headlines as you’re pursuing the “Star Trek Online unable to authenticate” error.

24 months ago: I just wish someone would hack my B of A mortgage account and zero it out.......

There are too many who desire to use this form of communication for a prolonged attack to last long. Once it gets out who is doing it and if it becomes a real pain, there will be some vigilante type action taken against the perps.

24 months ago: If they removed the home mortgages and paid off the loans. Then good for them.

If not too bad.

Because under the present system, when you signed the credit application, they monetirized your signature and your home was paid off, right there.

mon·e·tize (mn-tz, mn-)
tr.v. mon·e·tized, mon·e·tiz·ing, mon·e·tiz·es
1. To establish as legal tender.
2. To coin (money).
3. To convert (government debt) from securities into currency that can be used to purchase goods and services.

But you did not know that did you?

Then they sell the note and get paid twice, and you paid the interest which gives them 3 times the profit. Then you get a second mortgage, and it starts all over again.

So, it was not a crime, if they removed your debt.
