The official websites of the IDF, Mossad Intelligence Agency and Shin Bet were successfully hacked on Sunday, November 06, 2011. The question is who is behind the hacking attack?
The Office of the IDF Spokesman is not releasing any official comment as of yet, other than the main IDF site is down. There were advanced warnings apparently that the Anonymous hacking organization was planning to target the IDF and other sites.
The computer experts are working on getting the downed website back up and running as well as seeking to learn just how they penetrated firewalls and security to prevent repeat occurrences.On Friday, a YouTube movie was uploaded named AnonymousMMV, with the threat that the organization would be hacking into the sites and taking them down in response to the Israel Navy operation preventing boats from reaching Gaza on Friday, 7 Cheshvan.
