Citizens Bank website users report login issues
Customers of Citizens Bank were having intermittent problems accessing their online and mobile banking accounts Thursday and Friday following a denial of service attack, according to the bank's Facebook page. Such attacks, which have been hitting big U.S. banks more frequently in recent months, work by flooding websites with communications requests. "We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience," the bank reported, adding that no customer accounts had been compromised. Customers were asked to call 1-800-922-9999 for help or to visit a branch or ATM.
Dec. new-home sales down from Nov. rate
The Commerce Department said Friday that new-home sales fell 7.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 369,000.

Sales are still below the 700,000 level that economists consider healthy.

France OKs word for hashtag

The country that has an academy devoted solely to the use of the French language has given its official seal of approval to a new word for the Twittersphere: mot-diese, pronounced "Mo-Dee-YEZ." The French word for hashtag follows the government's somewhat successful redefinition of email -- courriel.
Verizon sells spectrum to AT&T for $1.9 billion
Verizon Wireless said Friday that it's selling space on the airwaves to AT&T Inc. in exchange for $1.9 billion and the transfer of some airwave rights from AT&T. The sale of spectrum rights will let AT&T expand its capacity for wireless broadband. The deals are part of a yearlong spectrum reshuffling process for Verizon and AT&T. Public Knowledge, a Washington-based public-interest group, called on the Federal Communications Commission to stop the deal, as it's a transfer of spectrum between the two biggest cellphone carriers.
