Last update - 04:55 23/07/2008 Iran hackers target Israeli Web site over message by Jewish group By Haaretz Staff Tags: Iran, hackers, Jewish World  The Webmaster of Jerusalem Online says Iranian hackers have been trying to damage his site, which offers English-language news from Israel and the Jewish Diaspora. The story began four days ago, when the Web site posted a video of Malcom Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Hoenlein called on the citizens of Iran to oppose their government, saying it does not represent them or care about their welfare, but is using them only to obtain its own extreme goals. Since the video appeared, Webmaster Ehud Rozen says, there have been numerous attempts to hack the site. Several hackers managed to get the Web site listed as "dangerous" on Google's search engine. Advertisement The site investigated, and found that Iranian hackers probably were behind the attacks, Rozen said in a press announcement. "They didn't manage to harm Hoenlein's message, but they did succeed in erasing pictures and damaging links to the site," he wrote. Meanwhile, the site's security system has been upgraded. And what about Hoenlein's message, which incited the attack in the first place? The Webmaster promised that the video would remain on the site for a long time, because "the message is too important."
