The Times of Israel website on Thursday, 13 Cheshvan 5778, joined the Israeli websites penetrated by hackers.

Israel’s Cyber Bureau, the IDF and other intelligence agencies continues working and allocating exorbitant sums of money as hackers around the world remain tenacious in efforts to down government and non-government websites and computer systems towards perpetrating a cyber-attack in Israel – to bring a halt to normal life by disrupting the internet and in some cases, critical services that are provided by computers systems.

Israel remains a leader in the field and the counter-cyberterrorism efforts continue to remain a high priority for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his coalition government.
