YN: Hundreds of websites were damaged by hackers in recent hours, following IDF activity in the Gaza Strip. The hackers are members of the Moroccan �Team Evil� group, responsible for most of the website damage in Israel in the past year. This is the largest, most concentrated attack on Israeli websites in recent years.A Ynet investigation revealed that more than 750 Israeli websites, on a number of different domains, were hacked into and damaged in recent days. Prominent among them were the Soldier�s Treasury Bank, Bank Hapoalim (not the main page), Rambam Hospital, the Society for Culture and Housing, BMW Israel, Subaru Israel, Jump Fashion, non-profit organization �Yedid,� Kadima�s youth website, and the Globus Group ticket center. Many of these sites have not yet returned to normal.Hackers left the message: You�re killing Palestinians, we�re killing servers.

Many Israeli websites are hacked every day � most of these are small sites, with inadequate information security. It is significantly different when the sites are ones of large companies, who have adequate defenses from this sort of attack.

In the past, Team Evil succeeded in hacking into several sites of medium-sized but recognized Israeli companies. In April, they hit tens of sites, including those of the �Shilav� children�s store, �The Blue Square� supermarket and McDonald�s.

The group�s spokesman previously told Ynet that �we are a group of Moroccan hackers that hack into sites as part of the resistance in the war with Israel. We attack Israeli sites every day. This is our duty�hacking is not a crime.�

Added another group member: �We want Israel to stop fighting. Stop killing children and we�ll stop hacking.� According to the spokesman, the group�s members are all Moroccan youths, under the age of 20.
