Computerworld reported the bulletin warns financial service firms against Anonymous' attempts to "solicit ideologically dissatisfied, sympathetic employees."
It said that the bulletin, issued by the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), was addressed broadly to those in charge of cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection.
For its part, Anonymous said the DHS bulletin shows it is scared of the hacktivist group.
"They are scared of us!" Anonymous said in an entry on its blog site.
According to Computerworld, the DHS also warned of new tools that Anonymous has said it plans to use in launching future attacks.
But its first attack, dubbed Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is scheduled for Sept. 17.
The so-called 'Day of Rage' protest was first announced by a group called Adbusters in July and is being actively supported by Anonymous.
OWS' organizers hope to get 20,000 people to gather on Wall Street on that day to protest various U.S. government policies.
Similar rallies targeting financial districts are being planned in Madrid, Milan, London, Paris and San Francisco, it said. — TJD, GMA News
