A “denial of service” attack hit Aish.com on Tuesday, knocking it offline for five to 10 minutes.
Hackers launched their effort at 10:45 a.m. Israeli time and continued for six hours, generating 219 million requests in what Aish described in a release as “unprecedented” in the site’s history.
No information was lost or stolen, it said.
The website was previously hit with smaller cyber attacks since the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel on Oct. 7. In May, the organization significantly boosted its security, which helped get it back this time.
Rabbi Steven Burg, the group’s CEO, said that such “attacks are part of the delegitimization tactics used by our enemies to harm any attempts at Jews standing up for themselves or strengthening one another.”
He added that Aish would continue to “spread Jewish wisdom, speak up for the Jewish people and strengthen all Jews around the world, no matter who or where they are.”
