The US government has warned financial services companies of an Al Qaeda call for a cyber attack against online stock trading and banking websites beginning today, Reuters reports. However, the Department of Homeland Security added that there was no reason to believe the threat was credible. The warning said the threat called for attacks to begin today and run through the month of December in retaliation for the US keeping terrorism suspects at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba.
