[转载]Israel goes PSYOP with Megaphone
<p>信息来源: Zone-H.ORG</p><p>The war between Israel and Lebanon is moving more and more toward the digital ground. Right after Israel decided to begin the military operations on the Lebanese territory, Zone-H witnessed a <a href="http://www.zone-h.org/content/view/13932/30/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">surge</font></strong></a> in the politically motivated digital attacks in support of Hezbollah or generally speaking, against Israel's policy toward Arab states. </p><p>The Israeli answer came short after when Israeli hackers <a href="http://www.zone-h.org/content/view/13938/30/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">managed to hijack</font></strong></a> the satellite transmission of the Lebanese Hezbollah's tv Al manar, substituting the live streaming signal with some propaganda messages and superimposing threat messages on Hezbollah's leader Nasrallah tv-image. </p><p>Now it seems Israel decided to follow <a href="http://www.zone-h.org/content/view/3/30/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">Donald Rumsfeld's advices</font></strong></a> in matter of PSYOP operations... </p><p>Everthing started when the Jewish website <span class="text14"><span><a class="bluelink" onblur="function anonymous(){

From that moment, the Megaphone application broadcasts to all the Giyus.org community the necessity to vote for that poll. </p><p>Judging by the "Jewish-o-meter" published on the Giyus.org homepage, already 13,600 (by the time we are writing this article) Jewish downloaded the application and are actively participating in influencing the polls. As you can imagine, in this convenient way it is possible to gather Jewish votes so to be able to change almost instantly the result of most of the published polls. </p><p>Pure PSYOP, isn't it? Wikipedia has a convenient explanation for PSYOP operations: </p><p><em>"Psychological Operations (PSYOP[US] or PSYOPS[UK, GE, NATO]) are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to specific foreign and (in certain countries) domestic audiences to influence their <a title="Emotion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">emotions</font></strong></a>, <a title="Motive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motive"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">motives</font></strong></a>, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of <a title="Government" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">governments</font></strong></a>, <a title="Organization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">organizations</font></strong></a>, <a title="Group (sociology)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(sociology)"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">groups</font></strong></a>, and <a title="Individual" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">individuals</font></strong></a>. Sometimes combined with <a title="Black operations" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_operations"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">black operations</font></strong></a> or <a title="False flag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">false flag</font></strong></a> tactics, the purpose of <a title="Psychological" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">psychological</font></strong></a> operations is to induce or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives. As such, there must always be sufficient truth to be credible. </em></p><p><em>This concept has been used by military institutions throughout history, but it is only since the <a title="20th century" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century"><strong><font color="#cc0000" size="2">twentieth century</font></strong></a> that it has been accorded the organizational and professional status it enjoys now."</em> </p><p><strong>What the guys at Giyus.org didn't account though, is that the same tool could be downloaded and used by the much larger user-base from Arabic countries to influence the polls in the opposite direction Jewish originally wished for. </strong></p><p><strong>Oh, sorry... it's just my hacker's mindset, can't get rid of it.</strong><br /></p> 以色列和黎巴嫩之间的战争日益走向数字化, 传说中的黑客大战?
