Israeli-American Hacker Who Terrorized U.S. Jews with Bomb Threats Sentenced to 10 Years in Jail
(Ha'aretz) Bar Peleg - An Israeli-American hacker who terrorized U.S. Jews with bomb threats was sentenced on Thursday by a Tel Aviv District Court judge to 10 years in prison. The hacker, 19, made 2,000 false terrorism threats from 2015 until his arrest in March 2017. Among his targets was the Israeli embassy in Washington, the Israeli consulate in Miami, Jewish institutions, schools, malls, police stations, hospitals and airlines. The hoax threats forced widespread evacuations and stirred fear of a resurgence of anti-Semitism.
