OpSaudi: Hackers Shutdown Saudi Bank Website
On Wednesday 17th Feb, 2015, a group of hacktivists calling themselves “The oppressed defenders” conducted a cyber attack on Saudi Arabian based bank AlJazira in shape of a Distributed denial of service attack (DD0S).
As a result the online banking and e-service domains of bank AlJazira were forced to go offline for more than thirty minutes.
One of the hacker told HackRead the reason behind targeting this bank was human rights violations within the Kingdom.
Hacker claimed they had warned the new Saudi king Salman bin Abdulaziz to stop violating human rights in the country or prepare yourself for never ending cyber attacks.
In past few weeks the same group had attacked Saudi financial institutions such as Samba, Alahli and Riyad bank.
“Those attacks on Samba, Alahli, Riyad bank were just small warnings to the Saudi regime and it’s king and if they don’t pay attention to the demands made by people, there will be attacks with more strength than before. These attacks are warnings to make Saudi regime change its behavior with the people and stops its wrong policies,” the hacker added.
Below are screenshots showing the bank’s site were down:
Identity of hackers remain unknown, but in an email HackRead was told there will be new and more powerful cyber attacks on Saudi financial institutions to put an end to violations of human rights in the Kingdom.
At the time of publishing this article, the Bank AlJazira was restored and available online.

Anonymous asks Elite hackers to join them in a massive cyber attack on Israel
The online hacktivist Anonymous
has a message for Israeli government in which the group has asked elite
hackers from around the world to join them and conduct a massive cyber
attack against the state of Israel.
A YouTube video message uploaded couple of days ago talks about Israeli air strike on Gaza and criticizes the killings of innocent children and women.
We’ve been fighting Israel and their terrorist state for over 4 years, and we have not grown weary or tired. It has only made us stronger. Therefore, we are calling upon the anonymous collective, and the elite hacker groups to join our crusade, and to wage cyber war against the state of Israel once more. This Friday will be a day in where Israel will feel fear tingling in their servers, and homes. It will be a day of solidarity and resistance, according to the video message.
Watch the video below:
This will not be the first time when hackers will conduct a cyber attack on Israel over ongoing conflict. Hamas already hacked Israeli channel 10 satellite communication and about a week ago several hackers targeted Israeli servers, claiming to leak highly confidential data belong to Israeli police and other government sites. The Turkish hackers also hacked official MSN Israel domain against Gaza attacks.
