The Israeli college "Sapir" near the "Sderot" area of the occupied territories was the target of a cyber-attack.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Israeli newspaper "Arutz Sheva" reported that the students of "Sapir" University near "Sderot" received text messages in which it was written that their personal information was subjected to cyber-attacks.
 
According to this report, university officials announced: "Last night around 21:00, some final year students and graduates of Sapir College received a text message that their account had been hacked."
 
Sapir Faculty further added: "We would like to clarify and assure you: that the hacking of the faculty network is under the management of the College's Computing Department and we have deployed a professional consulting team to deal with this problem and we are maintaining constant contact and We support the national cyber officials."
