Jose Nazario is on the case again, this time as Israel and Hamas fight in Gaza. Nothing jumps out so far, other than a site that advertised a DDoS effort:

we have been told about a website, “Help Israel Win”, that is using DDoS and a simple to use Windows tool to target PS and related websites. Users can download and “join the cause”, just like we’ve seen elsewhere (RU-GE, RU-EE, CN-CNN, etc).

The site is down now, perhaps due to a TOS violation?

Meanwhile, Gary Warner suggests on his blog that efforts by “Radical Muslim Hackers” have been successful:

This weekend more than 300 Israeli websites have been defaced in a period of 48 hours.

That seems like an incredibly small number to me. He says he will forward you evidence of the defacement if you send him an email. You can also go to a 1990s gamer-looking site arabic-m.com to see the reported current tally of “defacements”, “special defacements” and who is rated “best defacer”. Examples of defacements include a webpage for a small agency in Israel from 2001, which for some reason brings to mind the term “best lint picker” rather than a WWF-like “defacer” title.
