CIA CONFIRMS HACKERS CAUSED GAZA'S POWER OUTAGE
The SANS Internet Storm Center has raised its threat level to "Orange" after
the CIA notified them that hackers were behind the massive power outage in
Gaza. Reading from a prepared statement, Alan Paller, CIA's top liaison at
SANS, quoted CIA senior analyst Tom Donahue, the world's leading authority
on power outages, as saying "we have information, from multiple regions
outside the United States, of cyber intrusions into Gaza utilities, followed
by extortion demands. We suspect, but cannot confirm, that some of these
attackers had the benefit of inside knowledge. We have information that
cyberattacks have been used to disrupt power equipment in several regions of
Gaza. Currently, the disruption has caused a power outage affecting
multiple cities throughout Gaza. We do not know who executed these attacks
or why, but all involved intrusions through the Internet."
