| Israeli army, intelligence websites down |
| 2011-11-06 |
| The websites of Israel's military and its intelligence services are down, two days after a hacker group appeared to threaten the Jewish state over its interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla. The websites of the Israel Defence Forces, the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency and the Mossad foreign intelligence service were all unavailable through the day and into the evening on Sunday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, whose website was functioning, said that the outage was caused by a technical glitch rather than by hackers. "Israeli government websites crashed today because of a server malfunction, not as a result of a cyber attack," Ofir Gendelman, a Netanyahu spokesman, wrote in a posting on Twitter. The website problems came two days after a video apparently from "hacktivist" group Anonymous was posted on YouTube, threatening the Israeli government with retaliation over its interception of two Gaza-bound ships. |
