Israeli websites attacked in “Propaganda war”
Following the recent attacks against the Gaza strip over the past few days, Israeli websites are being attacked in what is being described as a “propaganda war”. This follows recent trends where large scale political events and aggression are being occuring alongside “cyber attacks”, as seen in Georgia, Russia and the China – Tibet attacks as covered here at Ironcove.net. Whether any of this is organised or more the efforts of angry individuals is still open to speculation.
It didn’t take long after Israel’s bombing of Gaza began for cyberwarfare to erupt as well: More than 300 Israeli Websites over the past few days have been hacked and defaced with anti-Israeli and anti-U.S. messages in an online propaganda campaign, a security expert says.
