Cyber attack on Israel appears to fizzle, while retaliation does not.

This I like! The Times of Israel reports that Israeli hackers have retaliated against those who boasted that Israeli sites would be taken down. The Israelis appear to have started on Friday, took the sabbath off, and are supposed to be going back on the offensive today, Sunday.

The article also claims that the attacks have been largely unsuccessful, but those of the retaliators a lot more successful. I hope so. As the long-ago rugby union coach said to his players as they headed for the pitch: "Get your retaliation in first".

Which the Israeli seem to have done.

Update: it fizzled out, indeed.
