Israeli Government Sites Crash in Cyberattack
A number of Israeli government websites went down on Monday in what may be the largest-ever cyberattack carried out against the country. Haaretz reports: The Israeli cyber authority confirmed the attack was a DDos (Digital-denial of service) attack that had blocked access to government websites, and that all websites were back online. The websites of the interior, health, justice and welfare ministries had been taken offline, as was that of the Prime Minister's Office.

They believe that a state actor or large organization is carried out the attack, but cannot yet determine who is behind it.
