Bank of America Is Down: Users Report Their Accounts Showing Empty Balance (independent.co.uk) 24
schwit1 shares a report from The Independent: Thousands of Bank of America customers reported trouble accessing their bank accounts Wednesday afternoon as the financial institution faced a widespread outage. On social media, customers said they could not view their account balances. Those who could view their accounts said they were met with an alarming $0 balance. For many, a "Connection Error" message popped up while trying to log into the banking app. The message said it was "unable to complete your request" and asked the user to "try again later."
By 1:15 p.m. Eastern Time, nearly 20,000 customers said they were having trouble, according to Downdetector, which reports web outages. That number dropped before rising again around 2:45 p.m. ET. It is unclear what caused the outage

I logged in to check. It works for me but there is shiny new redecorating on the site. Easy to guess there was a deployment problem they could recover from relatively quickly.

Any chance that this wasn't a hack but a poorly tested/installed web upgrade?

You say that, but there was nothing there after I took a look at it.

I drilled through the back of your safe, so that you wouldn't notice from the front. I'm not sure how those minor league baseball trading cards are going to fund your retirement...

IME these kind of stunts are disturbingly common. The last time I tried to check the balance of a Kroger gift card while using a VPN I noted it reported that the balance is $0 instead of giving a proper error. After disconnecting it gave the correct amount.
