tao Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 In an apparent nationwide system outage, Bank of America customers have been shut out from accessing their accounts and online banking on Wednesday afternoon. As of 4pm ET the outage was continuing with most online systems still frozen. On Downdetector.com reports starting spiking after 11:30 a.m. and the website was inundated with comments from Bank of America customers around the country saying they couldn’t access online banking from their applications or computers, transfer money or deposit money or checks. Coral Springs resident Eric Sleeper told the Miami Herald that he received what looked like a phishing email from the bank Wednesday and immediately called customer service to see if something was wrong. A message on his online account said it could not pull up his information. When he called his local branch, a manager said that local managers were all calling each other trying to figure out what caused what now seems like a national outage and why they were unable to provide certain services. Bank of America spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens told the Herald that the bank is aware of the issues with mobile and online banking and is working to fix the problem. Bauwens added that many of the customers who were experiencing difficulties now have accounts that are operating normally. “I know that the team is working quickly to bring everything back up. As time progresses they should be able to go back online,” Bauwens said. When asked what caused the outage, Bauwens said she “did not have that information.” Surprisingly, nobody has yet voiced the theory that it was Russia's crack hackers who are responsible. [ ] Meanwhile, on Twitter, users across the country were reporting issues accessing their accounts. “@BankofAmerica system wide outage on the day I’m closing on my house and there is nothing they can do about it,” tweeted Twitter user @CapricornLove7. “The clerk at @BankofAmerica just said I can't make a deposit [because] if [sic] a nationwide disruption. Anyone know what's up?,” tweeted user @Henkenius. @BankofAmerica system wide outage on the day I'm closing on my house and there is nothing they can do about it — Kenyata M (@CapricornLove7) July 19, 2017 @BofA_Help @BankofAmerica pic.twitter.com/o9BIRelBak — steel6869 (@SteveSaumell) July 19, 2017 @BankofAmerica You closed my Bank account with no notice.

Many jumped out of buildings and stuff back then they couldn't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do it you the one that likes too post the news, but in almost every case of these bank outages it's overblown and fixed asap and if someone got hacked it would not even be reported witch happens all the time without it being reported on a case by case bases . Only reason these bank outages are reported is because it happen to enough people that some of them will get on Twitter and gossip about it, because they never have no idea about what's going on. I had my internet go out for days at a time before here just like it could happen too a bank's internet but i don't make a Twitter post too tell the whole world about it. They remind of my grandma who love too keep up with the town gossip she would of loved the internet I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just researched these bank outages when it happen too the chase bank these post almost look identical with it all starting out with gossiping on Twitter and fixed right after it happened. Chase Bank computer system was down most of Monday https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/07/03/chase-bank-website-down-ahead-of-independence-day/ Chase Bank website, app back up after outages http://www.click2houston.com/news/chase-bank-website-app-outages-affecting-customers_ Bank of America Suffers 'Sporadic' Teller System Outages 2016 https://www.americanbanker.com/news/bank-of-america-suffers-sporadic-teller-system-outages Same kind of post people on Twitter panicking over nothing ..What would happen if a bad storm came along and knocked every thing off for a week? they would die and it could really happen lol, Quote In March of 2017, multiple banks in Texas all suffered from one and the same issue. The issue even seemingly spread to a few institutions in Oklahoma. Institutions had to resort to hand-written receipts for deposits and limiting cash withdrawals to a few hundred US Dollars. Wire transfers were inaccessible throughout various locations as well. To this day, no one knows for sure what went wrong other than the issue being blamed on a “non-disclosed internet outage”. https://themerkle.com/top-5-banking-issues-in-q1-2017/ Boo whoo , somebody had get off the internet and go too the bank too do business it still don't stop the bank from working lol.
