The Latest in IT Security

An arm of the hacking/activist group Anonymous claims to have been conducting a digital attack on Israels government websites for over a week now, continually knocking them down and watching them come back online again. The attack is an act of protest against Israels treatment of Palestinians, and though the group, AnonymousGlobo, largely hasnt gone into detail about its views, its been tweeting the hashtag #FreePalestine in support of Palestinians human rights. So far, websites including those from Israels intelligence agency and its Ministry of Justice have been brought down, according to Black Bag, though both have since come back online. Anonymous has attacked Israel in the past, but after a quiet period from the group it appears that its returned to one of its regular targets in the wake of Israels bombings.
