The Israeli government on Sunday said it has been hit with more than 44 million cyberattacks
since it began aerial strikes on Gaza last week. Anonymous, the hacker collective, claimed
responsibility for taking down some sites and leaking passwords because of what it calls Israel's
"barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment" of Palestinians.
There is some dispute about the effectiveness of the cyberattacks. Israel says the attacks have
largely been unsuccessful so far.
A page associated with Anonymous also posted a new threat: "November 2012 will be a month
to remember for the (Israel Defense Forces) and Internet security forces. Israeli Gov. this is/
will turn into a cyberwar."
Some observers took this as a sign of an escalating digital battle.
