It’s been just a week since Google Plus started allowing companies to have pages on the social networking site and it looks like someone already beat Bank of America to the punch, according to Carl Franzen at Talking Points Memo.
BofA’s Google Plus profile bashes the already embattled Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank. The page, which is no longer available, features unflattering pictures of former CEO Ken Lewis and mocking wall posts.
One wall post said, “Living under a tarp? I am too. My TARP is much bigger, however, and billions of dollars more expensive.”
It’s possible that the page could have been created by the bank initially and then later hacked.
However, according to Chester Wisniewski at the IT security blog NakedSecurity, the page was likely created by a group that tricked Google into thinking they were Bank of America.

OK, I get the story. What I don't get is the whole 'Companies fleeing Google Plus' headline since there is NOTHING in the rest of the story about it. Is it possible for you to either make sure that your headlines match the story, or write more accurate headlines. Unless of course you're just hoping to attract people to read your stories by providing outrageous headlines, but you wouldn't do that, would you?
