Earlier Today, we reported that the HSBC online banking site disrupted by Denial-of-service attack. Initially, we believe that the cyber attack launched by Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters.
But, The Anonymous affiliated hacker collective #FawkesSecurity have claimed responsibility for the cyber attack .
"As some of you may be aware HSBC bank suffered several DDoS attacks on the named sites in the past hours us.hsbc.com hsbc.co.uk hsbc.com hsbc.ca they were all brought down by #FawkesSecurity." Hackers said in the pastebin post.
"Before any claim fags attempt to take ownership of this attack, the proof is all in our Twitter account, Targets, time and date :) @FawkesSecurity"
While the HSBC statement claims that no customer data has been affected, the Fawkessecurity tweets that "This isn't entirely correct. We also managed to log 20,000 debit card details."
