(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Different Hebrew newspapers said that Israel has taken precautionary steps to confront a new spate of cyberattacks that may hit its computer networks on Saturday.
An Israeli newspaper named Yisrael Hayom reported on Friday that different Israeli institutions received threats from hackers about planned intentions to penetrate their computer systems as of Saturday, the first of June.
The newspaper added that a military cybercrime unit started a preventive campaign in preparation for the cyberattacks that may target governmental and financial institutions, noting that the measures taken would halt some online services temporarily.
A hacking group named "Anonymous" had launched last April a massive wave of cyberattacks on Israel's websites in protest at its crimes against the Palestinians.
