The warning was issued after "officials" noticed a posting on a "Jihadist Web site" calling for an attack on United States internet-based stock market and banking sites in December.
There is no information corroborating the threat according to Russ Knocke, spokesman from the DHS. Adding that the alert was issued "as a routine matter and out of an abundance of caution. There is no immediate threat to our homeland at this time."
This comes at a time of increasing economic crisis throughout the United State and the world and in addition to reports that the World Bank has been allegedly hacked and has been under siege since last April.
Though the World Bank is denying the story, up to as many as 40 servers may have been compromised according to the report.
