Hacker group Anonymous declares war on Israel

11/17/2012

Hacker activist group Anonymous has declared war on Israel, attacking hundreds of websites in the country to protest military action in Gaza. The group claims, via Twitter, to have deleted databases at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Bank of Jerusalem, and has crashed more than 650 other national websites using Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The group also hacked into an Israeli real estate website to post more than 2,000 email addresses and their corresponding passwords. We don't know how meme-savvy the Israeli government is, but this recent tweet from Anonymous is pretty easy to interpret: "Israel, all your base are belong to us." [Source]
