Hacking group Anonymous has launched OperationUSA (#OpUSA), a coordinated online attack against nine US government sites and more than 130 financial institutions for 7 May, according to a post published in Pastebin.

The attack, according to Anonymous, would be a response to social and political injustices. "America you have committed multiple war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and recently you have committed war crimes in your own country. ...Now it is our time for our Lulz (fun)," the group said.

Organisations should be now preparing their strategies against distributed-denial-of-service attack, if they don't want to be disrupted. Besides, according to experts, call-center staff should be educated about DDoS attacks to inform costumers about possible difficulties in accessing accounts.

Network and security teams should also be monitoring online traffic and take necessary steps to block targeted IP addresses.
