Israeli hackers leak PA population registry in response to anti-Israel cyberattacks

Apr. 8, 2015 

An Israeli hacker group leaked on Wednesday morning details of four million people listed in the Palestinian population registry, a move that was in retaliation to the coordinated anti-Israel cyberattack by the Anonymous hacker collective on Tuesday, codenamed #OPIsrael.

The group, Israeli Elite Force, also promised to publish information on hackers who participated in Tuesday's attack.

The Israeli hacker group, who have in the past already revealed information of hackers suspected of participating in previous OPIsrael attacks, has been very active in recent days in what it named #OpIsraeliRetaliate in response to OPIsrael. The group carried out cyber attacks against websites and organizations in the Palestinian Authority, Syria and other countries, along with the publication of details of businesses owned by Israeli Arabs.
