JERUSALEM (JTA) – Israeli government and military websites were back
on-line a day after an apparent cyber attack.
The official Israeli websites, including government ministries, the
Mossad and the military, crashed Sunday, two days after an
international group of hackers known as Anonymous had threatened to
attack Israeli government computers in response to the interception of
Gaza-bound ships carrying a symbolic amount of medical aid. The threat
was made in a video uploaded to YouTube.
Internal computer networks were not affected, security officials told
Haaretz.
Israel's e-Government, responsible for managing the state's websites,
told Haaretz Monday that the problem was caused by problems with an
IBM component.
The Israel Defense Forces North American spokesman's desk had told JTA
that it was experiencing "server issues."
Anonymous, which has brought down other country's computer systems,
threatened to launch repeated cyber attacks against Israeli computer
systems until Israel ends its maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip.
