Hacker groups have had Israeli firms and facilities in the cross hairs over the past few months, and now Sudanese hackers have carried out a massive cyber-attack against a number of Israeli websites, including that of a major aerospace and aviation manufacturer.
Palestinian media outlets reported that the websites of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) – an Israeli firearms manufacturer, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. and Evigilo Ltd., which develops and delivers emergency mass-notification and alert multi-channel solutions, went down on Saturday.
The attack was claimed by a group of hackers that goes by the name ‘Anonymous Sudan.’
The same hacker group recently targeted the websites of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, the so-called internal security service Shin Bet, and several other companies across the occupied territories.
