Israeli hackers operating under the name of 'IDF Team' brought down
the website of the Arab Bank of Palestine on Thursday morning in
retaliation for a web attack on Israel's Anti-Drug Authority website.
In a message sent to The Jerusalem Post early Thursday morning,
members of the 'IDF Team' said that by 10:00 am Israel time, the
Gaza-based Arab Bank of Palestine's website would be disabled,
together with the website of the UAE's central bank. A visit to the
Arab Bank of Palestine's website confirmed that it was offline. The
UAE's Central Bank website also appeared to not be functioning. The
attack represented an escalation from the distributed denial of
service attack earlier this week against the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
and El Al.
