The changes were made to reflect the truth, the truth will set you free. Unless that is you are Olmert or his henchmen.
4. No different than what is posted here!

Did the hackers say something that isn't true?
5. There seems to be a lot of cyber-vandalism...
Rivkah   (10.20.07)
that happens to me quite often. There is something called a "Magic Lantern" in computers that makes them vulnerable to computer hackers who are in govenment. I do not know that people outside of government have the "key" to access computers through the "Magic Lanterns" that are built into them. So, I perpetually change the weather city back to what it should be on the homepage and the other things that are cyber-vandalized.

removed from their computer systems. By the by, cars since the late 1990's also have a devise on the ignition coil to track the vehicles and even the speed of a vehicle in an impact for insurance purposes. The little black box or devise is removed and examined in some cases. Mechanics will not remove the devise when asked to for fear of the government, but a friend will perhaps disable it so it looks like a manufacturers' defect. That is why people are captured so quickly when exiting crime scenes in newer cars if someone remembers the license plate. ...GPS tracks it.

11.  "broken promise land"
david ,   K-8 israel   (10.21.07)
Well it's all true!!! So where is the crime? "Power to the people". We have become such an apathetic public letting all the corruption go on with just a shrug I feel the ground has been pulled from under my feet After 25 years in the Promised Land, I have now starting calling it the "broken promise land" A good friend of mine in Canada asked me what it is like living in a Jewish state today. I told him it is better to live with goyim. David
12. "Acts Appeared To Be Criminal In Nature"
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.21.07)
That's a direct quote from senior Knesset members. Actually, it's the Knesset members who are criminal in nature - and should be investigated. Anyway, "Hever Knesset" has become a synonym for criminal - it's practically an insult. The hacker was only doing a public service -
13. Server issues
David ,   zichron yaacov   (10.21.07)
We have a huge problem in Israel with (non-existent) computer security and IT security awareness. I see a lot of bad administration on important Windows (!) servers, as if a well administrated IIS/Windows alone wouldn't be bad enough. These harmless hacks should be a warning. There is more to come and we must be prepared.

Tell me, does your tinfoil cap ruin your hair style, too? What you describe in post 5 is a common glitch in the Windows settings, while Magic Lantern is FBI software that has to be installed in a computer via e-mail, just like a virus. Worry about Microsoft's remote access capabilities first, that's far more vulnerable to hacking.
15. It's the MKs who are the criminals, kudos to the hacker!
Nannette ,   London   (10.21.07)
The hacker is exposing the truth... what's criminal about that? The real criminals are those in the Knesset who think they can get away with their crimes...
16. #14 Michael: The cyber-vandal today changed the homepage,

the background picture, and moved the icons on the tabletop around. I do not think it is a microsoft glitch. It is someone going into the computer through a back door or magic window. By the by, my computers were confiscated by the Lemoore, California, police and kept for a month last December when magic windows were probably inserted or acitvated since a lot of computers are made with them, now. It was my concern for Ariel Sharon that caused the police of Lemoore to hate me because they thought I was a Jew. It is probably policeman Jason Cody who is the cyber-vandal since he looked pretty stupid after accusing me of being a terrorist and Nazi executioner and Jew and no evidence could be found of that on my computers or in my home even though I beaten up and terrorized without a warrant. A week later, a psychotic judge I sat next to at Navy League meetings for five years signed a search warrant accusing me of being a nazi executioner and having the word Borman on my computers and in my home. I asked where the bodies were and a SWAT team tore my home apart, furious at being unable to find anything I had done wrong. Did they arrest and charge the Nazi German woman Inge Mingus who filed a false police report and commited perjury? Oh, heavens, no. She is an atheist, a protected species in America. Jews and Christians are the terrorists in America since they read the Bible and go to prayer meetings. That is former US Attorney General Janet Reno's definition of a terrorist. I kid you not. Why do you think I write to YNET? Because there are people in Israel who still respect God and the Bible and people who read it. You appear not be be one of them so move to America and be happy there.
