International computer hacking groups called on Muslim hackers to attack US and Israeli websites and other Internet presences on 9/11.
The threat for Wednesday was posted last week in a YouTube video by the hacker groups Anonymous, AnonGhost and Fallaga. The groups are protesting Israeli policies on the Palestinians.
“Hi, Israel, do you remember us?” says the computer-modified voice in the video. “We are the same people who f—–d you on April 7. And now we are back to punish you again.”
“America, Israel. We will show you.” At its end, the video issues a call to “Free Palestine.”
In April, on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day, Anonymous tried to “erase Israel from the Internet,” as it had threatened in a similar YouTube video. In the so-called OpIsrael attack, several Israeli government websites were affected, Israeli business websites were brought down and Israeli Facebook pages were hacked.
