Hamas is now actively recruiting hackers to attack Israel web sites. The LA Times picks up on a report in a Farsi news site that the terror organization's Tehran office
is offering cash prizes for any intrepid computer whiz who hacks into a "Zionist" website . . . .
Contest organizers describe the hack-Zionist-websites-for-cash competition as a "peaceful and non-violent initiative."
Israeli computer security expert Gadi Evron wasn't impressed, telling Backspin editor Pesach Benson the threat is over-rated:
What can they do that they haven't done already?
Last summer, Evron discussed cyber warfare and Israel in an exclusive interview with Backspin after Russian attacks on Georgian web sites made headlines.
