Plenty of Israeli desktop comoputers in government, internal revenue and security use outdated Windows systems. It's a matter of time until a larger breach will happen. The goverment must act and learn from the industry to replace these outdated and intrinsically operating systems already, even if Microsoft will stop the goverment bribes.

They aren't smart enough...must be mr sotero, who is afraid of being revealed, on his watch, that nasa-astronauts never went to the moon,,,a disaster for the US image..

Just a tiny intrusion. What is required is a total opening up of all aspects of these secretive organisations and the harm they do. I refer to Mossad, Shin Bet (sounds like a gambling organisation) and the others.

A form of unintended quality assurance. Points them to areas that need improvement. Shukran!

You should spend more time appreciating that you don't have any natural enemies. Therefore , you have to go out of your way to make them.

When you invade other peoples computers you have to expect that they might also do the same to you.

In the "real world", Linux and MacOS are actually more vulnerable than MS-Windows 7 and 8 (If the Israeli government is using any older version of Windows, shame on them for ignoring clear guidelines from all the security experts). A properly set up Windows 8 system is very secure against most things except for user stupidity.

Someone opened an attachment that they shouldn't have., They have to beef up security practices.
