Threatsec Down Internet Services Over Gaza in Response to Hamas

Threatsec announced earlier on that it launched a barrage of cyberattacks on key network providers in Gaza, affecting Hamas.

They also stated that the attack affected all login portals, as well as the TV, also completely crumbled, and they won’t be able to get them back up for quite some time

Threatsec Explains Reason for Attack

Hamas Propostrous Attack

The death toll is on the rise at the time of writing. In retribution for one of the worst attacks in modern history, in which the Islamist group Hamas killed 700 Israelis and kidnapped dozens more, Israel bombarded the Palestinian enclave of Gaza on Sunday, killing hundreds of civilians.

After Egypt and Syria’s attacks during the Yom Kippur War fifty years ago, Hamas rebels’ rampage across Israeli villages on Saturday was the deadliest such incursion. It has threatened to start another inferno in the never-ending struggle.
