A Fake Google+ Page For Bank Of America Has Put Both The Bank And Google In A Bad Light.

A fake Google+ page for Bank of America has put both the bank and Google in a bad light.

Just one day after Google rolled out its new business feature last Monday, a group of hackers set up a Google+ page using Bank of America's name, but without the bank's knowledge.
Designed to look just like an official BofA page, it was instead devised by people who tricked Google into letting them create a page with the bank's name and contact information, according to Sophos' Naked Security blog. Rather than promoting the bank, the page mocked it with insulting taglines, photos, and posts. Though the page has since been removed by Google, Naked Security included a screenshot highlighting some of the content, which I've reproduced below:

The tagline: We took your bailout money and your mortgage rates are going up

The intro: We are commited to making as much money as possible from usury, bribery, insider trading, extortion, and debit card fees as possible.

Some of the posts also took a nasty turn.
"Starting tomorrow, all Occupy Wall Street protestors with Bank of America accounts around the country will have their assets seized as part of BofA's new Counter-Financial-Terrorism policy," read one post published by the left-leaning Talking Points Memo blog. "You will sit down and shut up, or we will foreclose on you."
