Egyptian hacker defaces Israeli PM's website


For several minutes last Sunday, the official website of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was defaced in a hack attack, with the hackers placing an image of Egyptian soldiers raising the Egyptian flag in Sinai in 1973. The hack came days after Israeli solders shot and killed five Egyptian soldiers across the border, International Middle East Media Center. According to the IMEMC, the hacker even wrote “Anti Zionism" on the webpage, which was taken offline and eventually restored. “Egypt is the greatest civilization, established more than 7000 years ago, but the terrorist state of Israel stole the Palestinian lands, and killed children," the site quoted the hacker as writing on the defaced page. Also the hacker placed a picture of a Palestinian child killed in an Israeli air strike targeting Gaza, and wrote “I advise you to stay away from Egypt; because we will make you a picture similar to the child you killed." The IMEMC speculated the hack may be a symbolic message to Netanyahu regarding the Israeli military escalation, and illegal occupation of Palestine and Arab territory. Meanwhile, the IMEMC also reported Egyptian hackers managed to hack into the official Israeli Radio webpage to protest the death of five Egyptian soldiers at the Israeli army’s hands. “The Zionist entity must realize that we will never forget, and we never forgot that this entity is our number one enemy," said the hackers, who called themselves Egyptian h4x0rZ, Soly, and elga7ed. — TJD, GMA News
