Israeli government websites under mass hacking
attack
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - More than 44
million hacking attempts have been made on Israeli government web sites since
Wednesday when Israel began its Gaza air strikes, the government said on
Sunday.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz
said just one hacking attempt was successful on a site he did not want to name,
but it was up and running after 10 minutes of downtime.
Typically, there are a few hundred
hacking attempts a day on Israeli sites, the ministry said.
Attempts on defence-related sites
have been the highest, while 10 million attempts have been made on the site of
Israel's president, 7 million on the Foreign Ministry and 3 million on the site
of the prime minister.
