Virus threat hit Israeli Foreign Ministry computers

A Trojan horse has been sent as files attached to emails bearing the name of the IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz in the subject line. Israeli police immediately pulled the national computer network from the civilian Internet after this cyber threat. Dozens of identical emails were sent Wednesday to Israel embassies abroad and to Foreign Ministry employees in Israel. It is not clear that either breach involved a wide-scale cyber-attack, or a virus infecting only a few computers. The police are still trying to identify the source.
