(Corpus Christi, April 9, 2008) Since 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the banks website has been shut down. All the result of a computer hacker who somehow gained access to the site.

The hacker left a picture of a risque cartoon featuring a man inside of a jail cell, who drew a picture of a nude woman on the door. An adult cartoon, American Bank customers discovered after clicking on the financial institutions website.

Customers told 3 News, they were concerned if a hacker could get into a bank's website, how about getting into their money? American Bank representatives say the website is run by a third party company, and it was a secondary page of the banks website that was hacked.

Bank officials say no personal customer bank information is available on that web-page. Only information about bank products and services.

An investigation is now being conducted by the F.B.I.

Any American Bank customers with concerns are urged to contact the customer service center.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
