Bank of America E-Mails Leaked by Anonymous - Security - News & Reviews - eWeek.com: "The e-mails have not been independently verified, and a Bank of America spokesman told Reuters that these 'clerical and administrative' documents had been stolen by a former Balboa employee and were not tied to foreclosures. 'We are confident that his extravagant assertions are untrue,' the spokesman said.

OperationLeakS claimed on Twitter that this was just 'part 1 of the Emails.' In an ironic twist, bankofamericasucks.com was available sporadically throughout the day as high traffic volumes overwhelmed and crashed the server. By midday, there were a number of mirrors up for the e-mails in the .RAR archive format, including one at AnonLeaks.ch.

The bulk of the e-mails appear to be between OperationLeakS and the clearly disgruntled Balboa employee, and it was difficult to tell if there was anything 'truly damning in the e-mails,' according to Halah Touryalai of Forbes. Even so, considering recent disclosures about robo-signing practices at Bank of America and other foreclosure problems, regulators are likely to be poring over the allegations in these e-mails carefully."
