www.us.hsbc.com is down for almost 24 hours

same here haven't been able to get in for 24hrs

They are blocking all Non-US IP addresses. :-/ I cannot get there from my home in Spain, but when I use a US proxy server, it all works fine. Why not just put up a sign that says, "customers, go away!"

I got this reply from HSBC this morning: Subject: Re: Online Banking Question Date: 05/03/2013 Dear [customer name] Thank you for contacting HSBC Bank USA, N.A. Due to the unsecured nature of the Internet, connections from an I.P. Address outside the United States are now automatically blocked by the system as they are considered as fraudulent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you wish to access your HSBC account online from Spain, you may directly contact our Fraud Prevention Department collect at 716-841-7755 to inform them you are assessing the account from Spain and to request them not to block your Personal Internet Banking Service.
