Over 35 Israeli commercial sites have been defaced by members of the Bangladesh Grey Hat Hacker (BGHH) collective.

The hacktivists are calling Israel a “cancerous tumor” that must be “wiped from cyberspace.”

The affected websites’ main pages have been altered to display a protest message against the “insults” brought to Islam.

“We have hacked your site, not for sabotage, but to show solidarity for Muslim brothers & sisters around the world and to teach you the real message of Islam,” they wrote on the defaced webpages.

The list of targeted domains includes samim.co.il, rhagolan.co.il, mybooking.co.il, ovmetal.com, ohyeah.co.il, orlaguf.co.il, gowithyourheart.co.il, hooponopono.meiravi.co.il, lemontree.org.il, and many more.

At the time of writing, most of them still display the message posted by Bangladesh Grey Hat Hackers.

Yesterday, the same collective breached the website of an Anonymous hacker group and one dedicated to a security application called Shield Antivirus.
