Bank of America webservers suffer ‘unprecedented’ outages
Wonder if this has to do with too many customers trying to take their business elsewhere because of certain policy changes?
The six days of online brownouts and slowdowns that have plagued Bank of America’s website are “unprecedented,” a leading Internet and mobile cloud monitoring service said today.
“I don’t think we’ve seen as significant and as long an outage with any bank. And I’ve been with Keynote for 16 years now,” said Shawn White, vice president of operations for web monitoring service Keynote Systems. “It’s particularly shocking precisely because these banks know how critical it is for their online customers to be able to access their bank account. It’s so personal and dear to them.”
Bank of America (BofA) said its Web and mobile services have not been hit by hacking or denial-of-service attacks. But the nation’s largest bank would not disclose what’s causing its online problems.
