Target Israel fire service website

JERUSALEM — Hackers claiming to be from the Gaza Strip defaced the website of the Israel Fire and Rescue services, posting a message saying "Death to Israel," a spokesman told AFP on Friday.

Fire service spokesman Yoram Levy said that attackers who identified themselves as the "Gaza Hackers Team" struck its website late on Thursday and posted a picture of Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon with footprints over his face.

"There was some writing in Arabic and a picture of Danny Ayalon," Levy said, adding that by Friday morning the site was largely back to normal.

Last week, Ayalon said Israel would respond to cyber-attacks in the same way it responds to violent "terrorist" acts after hackers claiming to be from Saudi Arabia published details of tens of thousands of Israeli-owned credit cards online.

Two days later, Ayalon's website was briefly taken down after coming under attack, allegedly by hackers from Gaza, in an incident he blamed on "Muslim extremists."

The latest incident follows a string of tit-for-tat hacking attacks which began on January 3 when a Saudi hacker called 0xOmar said he had posted details of 400,000 Israeli-owned cards online.

Three days later, he said he had published another 11,000 card details but it turned out to be malware that infected anyone who downloaded the information.

Israel's main credit card companies said about 20,000 valid cards had been affected.

Earlier this week, an Israeli hacker "0xOmer" launched a counter-attack and posted details of 217 Saudi cards online, prompting another attack by the Saudi hacker who urged Arab and Muslim hackers to wage cyber warfare on the Jewish state.

In his latest message posted on Pastebin.com early on Friday, 0xOmar hailed the Gaza hackers behind the attack on Ayalon's website and threatened to expand the attacks on Israel.

"From here, I send my thanks to Gaza hackers who have successfully hacked stupid Danny Ayalon website," the Saudi hacker wrote.

"This is the beginning of cyber war against Israel, you are not safe any more. We'll hack Israeli servers for different purposes like leaking Israeli data, sensitive and hidden information extraction and defacing web sites."

Meanwhile, a report in the English-language Jerusalem Post said the military was recruiting elite teams of hackers to spearhead the fight against cyber attacks.

Last month, the army recruited nearly 300 young computer experts to serve in Military Intelligence as well as in the C4I Directorate -- the two units responsible for the army's cyber warfare efforts.

"We are not where we would like to be when it comes to the cyber world and we are working to improve our capabilities," a senior officer told the paper

PS4 will launched in 2016

EP / PORTALTIC President of Sony Computer Entertainment, Kaz Hirai , has denied in a conference at the CES that Sony is planning to introduce the PlayStation 4 in the next E3 in June in Los Angeles. Hirai has said that in his opinion, is a PlayStation 3
console with a lifecycle of 10 years, so it is still premature to talk about his successor. In recent weeks the rumours were shot on Sony’s intention to present a new console at E3 video game trade fair to be held from 5 to June 7 in Los Angeles. Sources close
to Sony had leaked that the company would anticipate the launch of the successor to the PlayStation 3.

Rumours claimed that Sony would try to downplay the launch of Wii U and show its new console while Microsoft, which also could have the Xbox 720. However, Sony has denied these rumours and denied he will submit a new console at E3 this June. In particular
there has been Kaz Hirai, SCE’s current president and one of the parents of PlayStation. In a meeting with journalists, Hirai has said that there is no intention by the company to go to E3 to present the future PlayStation 4. With this emphatic denial, Kaz
Hirai makes it clear that we have to wait to see the successor to PlayStation 3.

In addition, Hirai has also provided some clues to the date on which the next generation of PlayStation could see the light. According to the statements of the president of SCE, compiled by The Wall Street Journal, Sony PlayStation 3 created with the idea
that I had a life span of approximately 10 years. Since the PlayStation 3 was launched in 2006, if Sony decides to respect Console strategy could take several years to see the light. According to Kaz Hirai there is no reason not to respect this strategy, therefore,
in theory, until 2016 there will be no new PlayStation.

After confirmation from Sony, it clears one of the unknowns of the E3, but there is still another. It’s about whether Microsoft will decide to introduce a new Xbox, as well as rumours suggest. The truth is that Microsoft has not denied as it has done in
this case Sony hopes that the company displayed a new console in June remain intact.

China's iPhone 4S release

BEIJING – Angry customers and gangs of scalpers threw eggs at Apple's flagship Beijing store Friday after its opening for the China launch of the iPhone 4S was canceled due to concerns over the size of the crowd.

Apple reacted to the outburst by postponing iPhone 4S sales in its mainland China stores to protect the safety of customers and employees. It said the phone still will be sold online and through its local carrier.

The incident highlighted Apple's huge popularity in China and the role of middlemen who buy up limited supplies of iPhones and other products or smuggle them from abroad for resale to Chinese gadget fans at a big markup.

Hundreds of customers including migrant workers hired by scalpers in teams of 20 to 30 waited overnight in freezing weather at the Apple store in a shopping mall in Beijing's east side Sanlitun district.

The crowd erupted after the store failed to open on schedule at 7 a.m. Some threw eggs and shouted at employees through the windows.

A person with a megaphone announced the sale was canceled. Police ordered the crowd to leave and sealed off the area with yellow tape. Employees posted a sign saying the iPhone 4S was out of stock.

"We were unable to open our store at Sanlitun due to the large crowd, and to ensure the safety of our customers and employees, iPhone will not be available in our retail stores in Beijing and Shanghai for the time being," said Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu.

The iPhone 4S quickly sold out at other Apple stores in China, Wu said. She said the phone still will be sold in China through Apple's online store, its local carrier China Unicom and retailers that are authorized resellers.

Wu declined to comment on what Apple might know about scalpers buying iPhones for resale.

China is Apple's fastest-growing market and "an area of enormous opportunity," CEO Tim Cook said in October. He said quarterly sales were up nearly four times over a year earlier and accounted for one-sixth of Apple's global sales.

Apple's China stores are routinely mobbed for the release of new products.

The company has its own stores only in Beijing and Shanghai, with a handful of authorized retailers in other cities, so middlemen who buy iPhones and resell them in other areas can make big profits, said Wang Ying, who follows the mobile phone market for Analysys International, a research firm in Beijing.

"Apple is making a lot of money so it is not too concerned about the scalpers," Wang said.

Wang and other industry analysts said the size of the underground trade and price markups are unclear.

In Shanghai, stores limited iPhone 4S sales on Friday to two per customer. Several hundred people were waiting when the stores opened, bundled up against the cold. Some passed the time playing mahjong.

Buyers included 500 older people from neighboring Jiangsu province who were hired by the boss of a mobile phone market, the newspaper Oriental Morning Post said. They arrived aboard an 11-bus convoy and were paid $15 each.

Online bulletin boards were filled with comments about Friday's buying frenzy, many complaining about or ridiculing the scalpers.

Referring to complaints that scalpers buy and resell scarce train tickets ahead of the busy Lunar New Year travel season, which starts next week, one wrote, "Scalpers have switched from train tickets this year and all are headed for the 4S!"

iPhones are manufactured in China by an Apple contractor but new models are released in other countries first. That has fueled a thriving "gray market" in China for phones smuggled in from Hong Kong and other markets.

Last May, the Sanlitun store was closed for several hours after a scuffle between an employee and a customer during the release of the iPhone 4, the previous model in the series.

Customers began gathering Thursday afternoon outside the Sanlitun store. People in the crowd said the number grew to as many as 2,000 overnight but many left before dawn after word spread that the store opening would be canceled. There were about 350 people left when the protest erupted after 7 a.m.

"On the one hand there is poor organization and on the other there were just too many people," said a man outside the Sanlitun store Friday, who would give only his surname, Miao. "I don't think they prepared well enough."

Another man who refused to give his name said he was a migrant laborer who was paid $15 to wait in line overnight.

Others in the crowd said scalpers had organized groups of 20 to 30 migrant workers to buy phones or hold places in line. Organizers held colored balloons aloft to identify themselves to their workers.

Others said they were waiting to buy the phone for themselves.

"I just like the 4S," said Zhu Xiaodong, a Beijing resident. He said he was upgrading from the previous iPhone 4 model.

Sales in China began three months after the iPhone 4S had its global debut Oct. 14 in the United States and six other countries.

The delay between the release of Apple products in the United States and in China has yet to affect its reputation with Chinese customers, said Ted Dean, managing director of BDA China Ltd., a research firm in Beijing.

For other products, such a delay "sort of gives the impression here that you're not giving the Chinese consumer a fair shake," Dean said. "But demand and that 'cool factor' is so huge for Apple products that you don't hear that about them."
