Russian embassy website in Israel hacked in suspected Turkish cyberattack

The website of the Russian embassy in Israel has reportedly been taken down by the Börteçine Siber Tim hacker group, which put an image of the Turkish national flag on the home page and accompanied it with a message in Turkish, according to RIA Novosti. The website is currently not available. The diplomatic mission hasn’t commented on the incident so far. In early January, the hacker group also cracked the Instagram account of Russian minister Nikolay Nikiforov and posted there photos of the Russian Su-24 military jet downed by Turkish air forces in November 2015.
