DHS: ‘OpUSA’ May Be More Bark Than Bite

Description : The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is warning that a group of mostly Middle East- and North Africa-based criminal hackers are preparing to launch a cyber attack campaign next week known as “OpUSA” against websites of high-profile US government agencies, financial institutions, and commercial entities. But security experts remain undecided on whether this latest round of promised attacks will amount to anything more than a public nuisance.<div class="crp_related"><h5>Related Posts:</h5><ul><li><a class="crp_title" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/04/dhs-warns-of-tdos-extortion-attacks-on-public-emergency-networks/">DHS Warns of ‘TDos’ Extortion Attacks on Public&hellip;[/url]</li><li><a class="crp_title" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/11/ddos-attacks-spell-gameover-for-banks-victims-in-cyber-heists/">DDoS Attacks Spell ‘Gameover’ for Banks, Victims[/url]</li><li><a class="crp_title" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/04/brute-force-attacks-build-wordpress-botnet/">Brute Force Attacks Build WordPress Botnet[/url]</li><li><a class="crp_title" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/12/new-findings-lend-credence-to-project-blitzkrieg/">New Findings Lend Credence to Project Blitzkrieg[/url]</li><li><a class="crp_title" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2010/12/the-cyberwar-will-not-be-streamed/">The Cyberwar Will Not Be Streamed[/url]</li></ul></div>
