Israeli group posts photos of not-so-Anonymous hackers
Israeli hackers attacked computers belonging to Anonymous and allied hacker groups, taking pictures with exploited webcams and posting the photos online, during the organization’s OpIsrael hacking attack last week
A hacker called Buddhax, a member of the Israeli Elite Force hacking group, posted the information on the IEF’s Facebook page Wednesday, two days after anti-Israel hackers attempted to repeat last year’s mass attacks on Israeli sites.
Several web sites, including those belonging to the Israel Postal Company and Education Ministry, were brought down for a short period of time. Hackers belonging to Anonymous reportedly published online a list of phone numbers, emails and passwords of senior Israeli officials. Israeli officials said that the list was outdated. Some private Israeli websites were also brought down. Most of the outages were caused by distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, which freeze a site with an overwhelming amount of traffic.
