Facebook announced April 21 that it dismantled two Palestinian hacking networks — one of them apparently tied to Palestinian intelligence.
The social media giant said one group was linked to the Preventive Security Service, which is the intelligence service of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank. Their activity originated in the West Bank and focused on the Palestinian territories and Syria, and to a lesser extent Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya, according to Facebook's report. Syria and Lebanon have large Palestinian communities.
