Times of Israel reports:
Hackers believed to be linked to Iran have breached an Israeli internet hosting company, taking down several of its sites. The hackers on Saturday night released some alleged personal information online, including from an LGBT dating site, according to Hebrew media reports.“Atraf,” a geo-located dating service as well as a nightlife index, is a popular app and website in the Israeli LGBT community, especially in the Tel Aviv area.According to Hebrew media sites, names of “Atraf” users and their locations were posted online. The data leak had worried users it could expose those still in the closet.
Anti-Zionists and anti-Israel groups generally try to link their hate with more broad Leftist causes. But they have been completely silent over the potential danger to Israeli gays and their privacy being leaked by presumed Iranian hackers. Those that are still in the closet, especially those who come from religious families, are anguished over the news. (Reports say that the hosting company for the information was very lax in its security posture.)
The only mention I can find from the anti-Israel crowd is the supposition by disgraced former CNN host Jim Clancy that this was “revenge” for what he claims was Israeli hacking of Iranian gas stations – a doubly unfounded claim to blame Israel for the hack.
If this hack had been on an American site, the Left would have been all over the story with concern and anger. But Israeli gays don’t deserve any sympathy from bigots who claim the mantle of “anti-racist.”
