After reports on Sunday (November 6th) stated hackers successfully downed the Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF websites, government officials released a statement insisting this simply is not what happened. Officials in Jerusalem report that a technical malfunction resulted in the sites falling, not a hacker attack as claimed by an organization via its YouTube video.
According to the IDF spokesman, it may have been a server issue but definitely not hackers.
The government Facebook page posted a message saying: “Due to a systematic malfunction of the (government website system’s) servers, some of the government websites and services have not been accessible in the last few hours.”

Sounds fishy. Days after they claim they will bring down the websites, the websites go down. But it was only a malfuntion. Sorry. Looks like someone is trying to hide that they got attacked…
