Websites belonging to British bank and financial services company HSBC are back online after a 10-hour attack last night. The attack was deemed a large scale denial of service attack by the company. The sites were brought offline yesterday afternoon but brought back online at 3 a.m. UK time, according to a post on the bank s Twitter feed. An offshoot of hacktivist group Anonymous claimed to have knocked HSBC’s main site, along with its US, UK and Canadian counterparts offline.
