Hacker Group Anonymous Threatens Israel With Electronic Holocaust
Cyber activist group Anonymous has released an internet video which threatens Israel with an electronic Holocaust on April 7, in a massive cyber attack planned to fall just over a week before Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 16, known in Israel as Yom HaShoah.
The video shows a masked figure in a suit and tie delivering a prepared statement, warning that the group will eradicate Israel from cyberspace for... crimes in the Palestinian territories.
"We will erase you from cyberspace in our electronic Holocaust, says the videos masked figure. "As we did many times, we will take down your servers, government websites, Israeli military websites, and Israeli institutions."
A message to the youth of Palestine, you are a symbol of freedom, resistance and hope: we are with you and will continue to defend you, the electronic voiceover adds. Our message to the foolish Benjamin Netanyahu and all leaders in the Zionist entities, we will continue to electronically attack until the people of Palestine are free.
Delivered in English and with Arabic subtitles, the video shows Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu sitting with members of his cabinet and military leaders, coupled with images from the Gaza conflict, including ones showing the air strikes on the enclave during the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Operation Protective Edge last summer and Gazans running with injured children.
Previous targets of the hacker groups operations have been websites of the Israeli prime ministers office, the IDF, the Bank of Israel and the Embassy of Israel to the United States.
Benjamin T. Decker, senior intelligence analyst at Tel Aviv-based geopolitical risk consultancy The Levantine Group, says that the hacker collective makes the threat every year and, thus, Israel has acclimatised to the cyber threat, with less damage done with every year.
For the most part, this is posturing. This is actually the fourth year that Anonymous has carried out this Op Israel attack and called on their supporters to erase Israel from the internet, he says.
As the years have progressed we have seen that, despite their increasing sophistication in hacking techniques, we have seen less damage against Israeli cyber infrastructures, largely due to Israels pioneering of most cyber warfare tactics, both offensive and defensive.
Last year, during the Gaza conflict, the hacktivist group pledged that the #OpSaveGaza campaign against Israel would expose their terrorist activity to the world, referring to Israel as Israhell.
Isaac Ben-Israel, a technology and security expert at Tel Aviv University told The Times of Israel that cyber attacks against Israel increased nine-fold during the battle between the IDF and Palestinian militant groups. Instead of the usual 100,000 attacks we get each day, we were now getting a million such attacks from all over the Arab and Muslim world, he claimed.
In last summers 50-day conflict, over 2,100 Palestiniansat least 1,585 civilians of which 530 were childrenwere killed, according to UN and Palestinian accounts, and 72 Israelisall but five soldierswere killed, according to Israeli accounts.

Anonymous is getting really old to be honest.
I've never cared for them, nor do I support what they're doing.
They say they are trying to help? But it looks like they are just causing more problems to me.

At one point anonymous stood for something now any political issue that arises is automatically targeted by them. It would appear anonymous just consists of a group of angsty teens who have some knowledge on how to hack.

Can someone enlighten me on what "Anonymous" actually does now? I don't know how DDosing and defacing websites and taking Twitter accounts down will help anything

To be fair, it could stop some ways to recruit kids to ISIS. When it comes to Israel though, I have no idea.
I respect the sentiment, but I just don't see how this will do anything, unless they are just going for publicity so people are paying attention.

That's exactly what it is. No one seems to know that Israel killed 1,500 innocent civilians in Gaza last year.

They're glorified social justice warriors who only choose which "battles" to fight depending on how much support they'd get from the tumblr community for doing it.

They're all a bunch of muppets who don't understand the word, 'Compromise.'
