Along with Bitcoin and Wikileaks, their keyword list (http://par-anoia.net/assessment/us/bofa/keywords.txt) contains this gem: Quote Persecutory delusions Paranoia Title: Re: Bank of America caught monitoring hacktivists Post by: knight22 on March 03, 2013, 07:08:12 AM Good thing that bitcoin is not listed there ;D

Title: Re: Bank of America caught monitoring hacktivists Post by: Snipes777 on March 04, 2013, 06:37:31 PM I'm just curious what it was used for. For instance if they waited around for people to "schedule" an "attack" or if they legitimately wanted to spy and track/monitor people. I think it only makes sense for someone in their position to scan the internet broadly as to whether an attack against them would happen or something. Then they theoretically could try to prevent or minimize the effects.
Title: Re: Bank of America caught monitoring hacktivists Post by: FreedomCoin on March 05, 2013, 08:04:29 PM hmm were they searching for keywords, or just monitoring individuals of interest. i have worked with teksystems before, i am curious if anyone can find the job postings to "data mining on forums". Or maybe they reached out to the best they had without posting a job on their site.
