The official web site of Israel's Knesset (parliament) was
hacked on Saturday, with profiles of several legislators being
changed and assaulted by hackers, local media said.
The words "soon to be jailed" and "fraud" were added to the
profiles of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former finance
minister Avraham Hirchson, according to Jerusalem Post.
The Knesset Guard filed a formal complaint with police after
some Knesset members discovered the changes over the weekend and
had the web sites taken down.
Olmert, who was questioned twice by police a week ago, is facing
three investigations over fraud, corruption and bribery. For his
part, Hirchson was charged on Tuesday for involving in the
embezzlement of millions of shekels.
