Israel's Cyber-Defense Weak
A recent study by Symantec showed that Israel is very vulnerable to cyber-atacks right now. They’re in the top five right now of the least secure countries in the world when it comes to information security. Furthermore, the report states that more and more network infiltration and cyber attacks are coming about in order to further political goals and steal secrets from nations. Other unsafe nations include the US, China, and France.
McAfee has itself been a long-time proponent of the need to prepare for a global cyber-war, when two years ago CEO David DeWalt said that preparations should begin to made for just such an event as nations were likely to concentrate on cyber-offense in the future.. He’s currently patting himself on the back really hard.

The point I’m trying to get across is that some of the major players in the cyber-security world are recognizing the signs of impending doom. I think this will help with collaboration between the private and public sector, which I think is much needed to have an informationally (<— apparently not a word) safe nation.
Also, if you’re going to hack something, make sure it’s in Israel, France, or the US for optimal results.
