On Monday, the Bank of America (BOA) large American bank was exposed to cyberataka, which led to periodic interruptions in the accessibility of the resource, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the RAWSTORY website. The attack of hackers is believed to be a revenge for the bank’s refusal to work with the Wikileaks website.
In October, the founder of the revealing resource Julian Assange said that he had 5 GB of confidential information belonging to Bank of America at his disposal.
Later it became known that Bank of America records domain names containing the names of the top managers of the bank - presumably, in order to protect themselves from attacks that will follow after the publication of WikiLeaks documents.
Earlier, in December, sites of many companies and organizations that refused to work with Wikileaks were attacked. Anonymous hackers have already taken revenge on PayPal, Visa and MasterCard payment systems, which refused to accept payments for WikiLeaks.
Possible future victims of hackers can be sites of other large organizations that have refused to cooperate with WikiLeaks. Among them, for example, can be the Apple company, which removes the AppHone site for reading materials on the iPhone from the App Store online store.
