Huh?

Israel said on Saturday that it will respond to cyber-attacks in the same way it responds to violent “terrorist” acts, by striking back with force against hackers who threaten the Jewish state.

Okay, this is the language used against the PLO/PLA, Hamas and Hezbollah. What are they going to do?? Send a flight of F-16's to attack the village of the hacker or what?

That language is more than disturbing, it's downright scary. Israel doesn't usually toss around such terms lightly...I hope this makes the exception to that rule because what it suggests is utterly insane!

This is dumb. Now every hacker who would like to look cool would attack Israeli computer systems. Guys at the top should go easier on testosterone.
Yes ,there was an attack. Yes, whoever did it should be found and legally persecuted. Chest beating is not only stupid but it is actually counterproductive.

Thats a great point I didnt realize that is the exact phrase they use against the PLO.PLA WOW...

and again you are right they DONT usually make empty threats. I fear a headline in the next week saying "Israel traces hacker attack to John America in Virginia".. scary thought that would get the ball rolling for the US Gov to take action in Israels name here in the US. thanks for the reply. Whiterabbit.

I wonder how Israel plan to wage war on thirteen year old virgins with nothing better to do on a Saturday night.


Seems like Israel are grasping at straws, trying to find another "poor me" excuse in order to justify spending more money on their military.

silly Wrabbit, no fear!

by essentially saying "we will send our death squads to exterminate hackers"
both the US and israel have upped the ante beyond their own ability
as both countries are still using 3Gen warfare [they suck balls at 4Gen]

now any hacker that wants to hack israel or us knows [s]he
has to go for the jugular and use Scorched Earth Protocols
remember stuxnet? pffft

how about causing a meltdown or a dam to open it's floodgates, or crash takeover their defense systems and get the Big Screen to show an all out attack when none is occurring...

or vice versa

that kind of thing

welcome to the 21st century

LL,
don't you mean sponging more off uncle sugar?

The term 'terrorist' seems to be, since its 'official' introduction, being used in more and more instances and circumstances to demonise dissent of any nature.

This story is unsurprising, and from Israel...surprise, surprise...

Akushla

I wish Israel would just be quiet, they're giving me a headache since a long while now. Once they cross a certain line even the US will not protect them anymore. The regime's days are numbered, not the people.

as much as i would love to play with words but we know for a fact that

russians hackers have cyber sexed israel
turkish hackers have cyber sexed israel
american hackers have cyber sexed israel
chinese hackers have cyber sexed israel
australian hackers have cyber sexed israel
german hackers have cyber sexed israel
french hackers have cyber sexed israel
-
saudi hackers have cyber sexed israel
croation hackers have cyber sexed israel
serbian hackers have cyber sexed israel
algerian hackres have cyber sexed israel
estonian hackers have cyber sexed israel
syrian hackers have cyber sexed israel
pallestine hackers have cyber sexed israel
s.korean have cyber sexed israel
n.korean have cyber sexed israel
new zealand have cyber sexed israel
holland have cyber sexed israel
denmark have cyber sexec israel
norwegian have cyber sexed israel ( real bad ass group )


So hey israel, there you go you have the official list, no need to freak out with press releases...go ahead and take your pick

and ? israel treats everyone who isnt israeli like a terrorist.. nothing new there..

It was initially said the hacker was from Saudi Arabia; now they think he may be from Mexico.

This is rather Ironic, since some of the best hackers on the planet work for and within the Mossad.

IMO

In the same breath can we say the same about Stuxnet virus or are the rules different?
