Anti-Israel Hackers Target UK by Mistake
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jennifer Lipman - A group of Algerian hackers who attempted to attack the website of an Israeli tourist attraction found themselves interfering with that of a British castle. The target was Belvoir Fortress near the Israeli city of Tiberias, constructed by Crusaders in the 11th century. However, cyber attackers hijacked the website of Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, built on the site of a Norman castle. The attackers posted on its home page an image of the Algerian flag with Arabic words condemning Israel. A spokeswoman for the castle said: "We've nothing to do with the Middle East. I just help to organize the teddy bears' picnic."
