The hackivists at Anonymous, along with Turkish and other hackers, are claiming they hacked into
Israel‘s Mossad spy agency. More specifically, Turkish group
Red Hack claims to have stolen the names, locations, phone numbers and email addresses of 30,000 Mossad agents, while
Sector 404 launched a distributed denial of service (DDOS) to paralyze Mossad’s Web site. The leaked documents can be found
here.
As of Sunday evening, Mossad’s
Web site (or at least the English-language page) appears to be functioning. Naturally, the Israeli government is denying that any vital information was compromised. But one doesn’t have to be a master spy like
George Smiley to note a few inconsistencies in the claims of Anonymous.
