Israeli hacker hits IHH website

An Israeli hacker managed to break into the website of Turkish IHH group, which organized the Gaza flotilla, disabling the organization’s fundraising mechanism for a few hours.

The 30-year-old hacker from Holon, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was concerned with Israel’s poor PR efforts and decided to make a contribution of his own.

“The real war today is online. I spent an entire week exploring the site, a few hours each night, until I succeeded,” he said.

The hacker added that he was surprised to learn that IHH received some 9,000 euros in donations every hour via the website. The group is planning to send a second flotilla to Gaza next month.
