CNN has reported that customers were struggling in accessing Bank of America website and its online banking, which remained sluggish for some time before going offline earlier today.
BoA is now back online and it has said that efforts are being made to ensure full availability of the services to its customers.
Though it was not verified by an independent source as of now, but a note published on Paste Bin claims that the attack on Bank of America was triggered by Muslim Hackers in response to YouTube’s decision of not removing the blasphemous video clip.
Note said that New York Exchange will be targeted as well. Hackers have called all Muslim Hackers to unify their efforts to push YouTube for removal of video.
