Someone Is Launching Cyber Attacks on Websites Critical of Israel
(Vice News) Justin Ling - Early this year, the main website for the Palestinian BDS National Committee was targeted by a denial of service attack. The attacks were uncovered, and defended against, by Deflect Labs, a cyber security group headquartered in Montreal that seeks to protect activist and independent media organizations from organized cyber attacks. The group has been protecting a host of websites since 2014, thanks in part to nearly $500,000 in funding from the Canadian government.
