14 DAY TRIAL // According to a report from IsraelNationalNews.com, Jordanian security forces have detained several individuals believed to have participated in the recent cyberattacks against Israel.
The news about the youths’ arrests comes on the same day in which hacktivists announced attacking a large number of Israeli websites, including ones belonging to the government, law enforcement, the military and financial institutions.
Currently, there are no additional details regarding the arrests, but some Anonymous hackers threaten that they might initiate attacks against Jordan as a form of retaliation.
As far as OpIsrael is concerned, hacktivists say they’ve successfully targeted over 100,000 websites, 40,000 Facebook pages, 5,000 Twitter accounts and 30,000 Israeli bank accounts.
However, so far, they’ve failed to provide evidence to back up the numbers. In addition, Israeli authorities are downplaying the effects of the attacks, saying there’s “hardly any real damage.”
