Don't Believe Hack Claims Against Mossad's Website, Expert Says
(Times of Israel) David Shamah - The hacker group known as Anonymous and affiliates proclaimed over the weekend that they had broken into the Mossad's servers and stolen the names and personal details of top IDF officials, politicians and Mossad agents. "Whatever they stole, it probably wasn't secure details of top Israeli brass, either from the army or the Mossad," said Tel Aviv University Middle East Internet expert Dr. Tal Pavel. Pavel downloaded and analyzed the files (they were posted on hacker sites), and found that "there are many records that list the names of businesses associated with the individual, including shoe manufacturers, food companies, auto supply stores, high schools, municipalities, synagogues, and even NGOs," many of which work with Palestinians. A good chunk of the names list home or business addresses in Arab communities in Israel, including Taybeh, Umm al-Fahm, and Kafr Kassem. "It's extremely unlikely that thousands of Israeli Arabs are also Mossad agents," he said.
