information warfare in the middle east crisis, Google Earth and Sky News

[Gadi Evron <ge () linuxbox org>]

Hi guys. The online press seems to cover only the usual defacements.
I wrote several posts on this subject, and it keeps evolving.

Aside the to usual online attacks going on (mostly defacements and
DDoS) between unaffiliated hackers on both sides of the, literal, fence,
there is quite a bit of information warfare activity a foot on:
Sky News' poll manipulation, Google Earth locations spam for bombarded
sites, etc.
