14 DAY TRIAL // After recent events which have made the relations between Israel and Turkey grow cold, a group of Turkish hackers decided to teach their opponents a lesson by attacking their websites. Only after the damage was done, they noticed that the marks actually belonged to Palestinians.
"The hackers left anti-Israel messages on 70 Palestinian sites," said the head of Maglan-Computer Warfare and Network Intelligence Labs. "Most of them discovered it when it was already too late. Only after they broke in and sabotaged the websites did they find out these were Palestinian sites."
Ynetnews, informs that the message posted on the hacked locations read in English “"Because you voted on behalf of Israel on Blue Marmara report… We suspended this site. You will apologize Netanyahu, you will apologize Israel."
Above the text, an image of an Israeli soldier washing his hands of blood was posted to make the message even clearer.
It seems as the confusion was made because Palestine websites are hosted on Israeli servers. The hackers clearly didn't check to see what they were attacking as the victim domains had a specific .ps web suffix.
As the operation targeted a large number of objectives, no one took the time to actually have a look at the marks.
After an incident in Gaza where nine Turks were killed, Jerusalem officials failed to attempt a diplomatic reconciliation, fact which made the country of the Baclava take an offensive stand.
Lately, we have witnessed a lot of cyberwar taking place between countries, a phenomenon which will probably soon represent the end of physical wars. “Knowledge is power” is beginning to make a whole lot of sense when military organizations are spying on each other in the attempt to obtain supremacy, governments are keeping their citizens in line by monitoring their every move and many of the protest are made in virtual environments.
