Israel Under Cyber Assault?

Over at Sans’ Stormcenter here, there is a report of cyber warfare being conducted against Israel in response to the invasion of Gaza. So far, hundreds of servers have been defaced and there are DDOS attacks reported against several sites. However, none of these attacks have prevented Israel from slicing Gaza in two.

This just goes to show that real warfare beats the cyber kind hands down. Compared to a rolling column of tanks, a web defacement is just an angry nerd tapping on a keyboard.  And when it comes to privacy, an army rampaging in your town will typically do more to invade your privacy than a data leakage.
