The websites belonging to Israel’s national airline company, El Al, and the country’s stock exchange were shut down after a group of pro-Palestine hackers called Nightmare breached their systems.

Ynet reports that they learned of the operations that targeted El Al and the stock exchange even before the whole thing went down.

Stock exchange representatives state that the systems that manage trading are separate from the public website which is affected by the cyberattack.

In the meantime, things are getting worse in the Israeli cyberspace.

OxOmar, the Saudi hacker that leaked credit card information that belonged to a few thousand Israelis, is now threatening Pastebin for deleting his entries, Cyberwarnews informs.

Another hacker, one that goes by the name of Hannibal, threatens to leak 30 million email and Facebook login credentials that belong to Muslims and Arabs.
