AQ Thinks About Financial Cyber Attacks

MSNBC

NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that a unit of the Homeland Security Department sent out an advisory to banks, saying that a jihadist Web site posted an “aspirational” item, which said it would be a good thing to carry out cyber attacks on the U.S. financial industry to retaliate for abuses at the Guantanamo Bay prison facility.

The item was one posting on a Web site that expressed a desire, and is not thought to be in any way imminent or actual.

Anyone know if these advisories are going out every time an open source threat is published?
