Cyber-Terrorism Breaking Out Over War in Lebanon

"During the height of the "cartoon jihad," I posted about cyber-terrorist attacks on pro-Danish and anti-terrorist websites, including ours (see my posts here and here). Now the cyber-terrorists and their political backers are predictably going into action over the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon. Zone-H reported yesterday and last week, when US government sites and a Microsoft site was attacked. Yesterday's report really sounded the alarm: "Hundreds of web sites have been attacked in last days as a protest against bombing attacks by Israel against Lebanon.The largest part of web intrusions were defacements - web intrusion at any level by which a web page is replaced by the attacker’s message - against Israeli and U.S. web sites." Zone-H noted that the attacks are coming not just from Muslim areas, but from politically motivated non-Muslims expressing their protest by hacking and defacing websites. I'll come back to this issue in future posts."
