Hacker Group Anonymous Threatens Israel With ‘Electronic Holocaust’

Cyber activist group Anonymous has released an internet video which threatens Israel with an “electronic Holocaust” on April 7, in a massive cyber attack planned to fall just over a week before Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 16, known in Israel as Yom HaShoah.

The video shows a masked figure in a suit and tie delivering a prepared statement, warning that the group will eradicate Israel from cyberspace “for... crimes in the Palestinian territories”.

“We will erase you from cyberspace in our electronic Holocaust,” says the video’s masked figure. "As we did many times, we will take down your servers, government websites, Israeli military websites, and Israeli institutions."

“A message to the youth of Palestine, you are a symbol of freedom, resistance and hope: we are with you and will continue to defend you,” the electronic voiceover adds. “Our message to the foolish Benjamin Netanyahu and all leaders in the Zionist entities, we will continue to electronically attack until the people of Palestine are free.”

Man. You’re right on the money with that one.

LOL!

Mossad is “making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice”. This “Anonymous” group seems to think they’re the only ones who can play dirty with impunity, but they are not.

“....Not if they collapse critical network infrastructure”

I meant to add...

[Slings and Arrows]

That would be a shame.

[Slings and Arrows]

Like I said, hubris.

[NFHale]

Yeah.. I might shed a tear.

Then again... maybe not. Probaby not. A chuckle, yes. A tear, no.

Unfortunately when the Mossad strikes back they use acronyms like DOA, DB and KAs not DOS.

Is there a counter-battery radar equivalent in cyberworld? If so, the Izzies could counter-hack and destroy Anonymous. That would be awesome.

[TADSLOS]

Anonymous isn’t so anonymous to Mossad. Cyberpunks bleed too.

Some people have to stick the fork in the outlet for themselves.

They do. I follow some on Twitter

[Slings and Arrows]

Depends how they attack. I have a few ideas how Israel might trace an attack, but loose lips.

[Slings and Arrows]

The species improves.

[Slings and Arrows]

Agreed.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They had to use the word Holocaust while addressing eight million Jews, eh?

These people are sick.

[txhurl]

I bet Anonymous loses half their coders over this.. I mean out of fear and trepidation, not Mossad, who’ll get the other half.

[Slings and Arrows]

Very much so.

[Slings and Arrows]

We can hope.
