'Community' Star Donald Glover Sets Twitter Afire With Candid Shots of Couple Having Sex in a Bank
By not in system - AOL NewsWhat stories went viral last week? Here's a roundup from BuzzFeed. The final week of March has come and gone and spring is in the air. For some, that means it's time to have sex in public. No, really. The week began with Community star Donald Glover tweeting these candid shots of a couple getting intimate inside a Bank of America. (Insert tasteless joke about "making a deposit" here.) Donald Glover / Twitpic A photo posted to Twitpic on March 26 by actor Donald Glover shows a couple engaging in sexual behavior in a Bank of America lobby. Three days later, this other couple was ...
Outlaw Justice: When Hackers Retaliate Against Cyber Security
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyI used to be a hacker. It was a long time ago, decades before the future World Wide Web was available. I operated anonymously (except to my clients who paid me for what I discovered). I tracked down people whose cars, pledged as security on automobile loans, had been targeted for repossession. I performed my "hacking" duties over the phone using codes and pretexts. I infiltrated semi-secure bureaucratic systems (unemployment claim offices, utility company billing desks etc.) to precisely extract the whereabouts of drivers who had borrowed money to buy automobiles and then skipped town without ...
Bank of America Online Banking Down (Again); Twitter's Up in Arms
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsOnce again, Bank of America's online banking site is down, and it's causing problems for customers who need to pay bills on the first of the month. BofA's website last crashed in January at another inconvenient time: the Friday before Martin Luther King Day, which for many people was the last payday before a long weekend. A bank spokesperson has said the outage was caused by routine weekend maintenance and denies any hack or attack on the site. That's nice, but it doesn't do much for customers who can't access their accounts. .bbpBox42689672614387710 ...
Girl, 9, Tells Bank Her Mom's Too Drunk to Drive
By David Lohr - AOL NewsA Michigan woman was arrested after her 9-year-old daughter passed a bank teller a note saying her mother was too drunk to drive, police said.

Bank of America Website Still Down on Payday; Twitter Beside Itself
By David Knowles - AOL NewsWith the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday ahead, the timing could not be worse. Bank of America's website went down at approximately 4 a.m. PST today, causing online banking customers to scramble for alternatives on what is payday before the three-day weekend. Though the bank is assuring the public that the website crash has nothing to do with WikiLeaks "hactivists," a full accounting of the problem has not been forthcoming either, Forbes reports. The six-hour-and-counting outage has made for a lively response on Twitter, a community of people that apparently takes its cyberbanking quite ...

With Assange Arrest, Will WikiLeaks Go 'Thermonuclear'?
By Theunis Bates - AOL News
(Dec. 7) -- Days before Julian Assange's arrest, the WikiLeaks founder's lawyer warned that supporters will unleash a "thermonuclear device" of government files containing the names of spies, sources and informants if he's killed or brought to trial. Now, it remains to be seen whether his surrender in Britain today is enough for them to push the button. The 1.5-gigabyte file, which has been distributed to tens of thousands of fellow hackers and open-government campaigners around the world, is encrypted with a 256-digit key, The Sunday Times reported. Experts interviewed by the paper said ...
Massive Release of Raw WikiLeaks Files Threatened
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Dec. 6) -- Julian Assange's lawyer has warned that supporters of the WikiLeaks founder will unleash a "thermonuclear device" of government files containing the names of spies, sources and informants if he's killed or brought to trial. Assange, the 39-year-old Australian who has most recently embarrassed the U.S. by leaking hundreds of previously secret diplomatic dispatches over the past week, has dubbed the unfiltered cache of documents his "insurance" policy. The 1.5-gigabyte file, which has been distributed to tens of thousands of fellow hackers and open-government campaigners around the ...
Which American Bank Will WikiLeaks Put the Hurt On?
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Nov. 30) -- Watch your back, Wall Street: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the private sector is next on his hit list. The whistle-blower organization shook the foundations of U.S. diplomacy earlier this week when it released a "mega-leak" of secret government cables, revealing gossipy correspondences between the State Department and American diplomatic outposts around the world. In a rare, exclusive interview published Monday, Assange told Forbes' Andy Greenberg that his next strike, planned for early 2011, might "take down a bank or two." "It will give a true and representative ...
Panel Warns of Nightmare Scenarios for Housing Crisis
By Joseph Schuman - AOL News
(Nov. 16) -- The "robo-signing" scandal at the heart of the current foreclosure crisis may be just the tip of a legal iceberg that threatens to destabilize the American financial system just as the government is least equipped to support it. That's the judgment of the Congressional Oversight Panel, the watchdog agency created to keep an eye on the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. And it's the first official warning from anyone in the government that banks' problematic servicing of foreclosures could obscure and possibly evolve into troubles on a global scale. "At this point the ...
