Hacktivists Take Over Israeli Officials Twitter Account

After the re-escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict last week, hackers across the world have declared virtual war on Israel, attacking and defacing websites and social media profiles. Tuesday night, a hacker's group called ZHC claimed its first big victim: Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom.

ZHC hacked Shalom's Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts earlier today. It's unclear how they did it, but if the same password was used for each account, only one may have needed to be hacked.

Anonymous, the global hacking collective, announced the hack on Twitter.
