Bank of America: Our Execs Do Not Blow

Technology • Views: 20,824

Here’s an odd move from Bank of America; anticipating the release by Wikileaks of internal memos, BofA is preemptively registering hundreds of domain names that insult their executives.

As Bank of American awaits a possible release of information from WikiLeaks, it wants to ensure that you don’t think its executives suck. Or blow for that matter.

The company has been aggressively registering domain names including its Board of Directors’ and senior executives’ names followed by “sucks” and “blows”.

For example, the company registered a number of domains for CEO Brian Moynihan: brianmoynihanblows.com, brianmoynihansucks.com, briantmoynihanblows.com, and briantmoynihansucks.com. Just to be sure, it also picked up the .net version of these names and some .orgs as well.

I count hundreds of such domain name registrations on December 17 alone. They were registered through an intermediary that frequently registers domain names on behalf of large companies.

Some of the other names are for CFO Charles Noski, Chairman of the Board Charles Holliday, and board member Charles Rossotti (who is also Senior Advisor, The Carlyle Group).
