All-4-Lebanon – pirate website run by Israel to collect anti-Hezbollah intel.

    Is it safe to click that first link? I clicked your second link and my brain exploded. I can handle brain explosions, but not malware.

    You went to a page that had a the link on it – you’re on the list already. Double time in prison if you subscribed to Scott’s RSS feed. =D

    Why do I have this irrational urge to turn in my neighbor’s dogs and see what happens?

    This isn’t new. Fact a great number of the various ‘pro’ sites around the world involving ‘hotter topics’ are really controlled by their oppositiion. Its fairly basic intel work.

    Isn’t All-4-Lebanon this summer’s hottest new boyband?

    I think you’re right, Hellfire. Their newest hit single “I wanna rocket your world” is due out soon.

    Private registration … but the nameservers are in Israel. Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole secrecy thing. It’s sharing an IP address with 181 other domains, many of them obviously Israeli businesses (israelihomes.com etc.).

    Either Mossad has a galloping case of the stupids, which I’m really inclined to doubt, or possibly it’s some sort of private project?

    According to this article it is indeed a product of Israeli intelligence, and the text of the Arab pages closely matches leaflets dropped within Lebanon.

    This is a great question. It may not be the case in this example, but you know someone’s (big evil governments/terrorists) got to be thinking about it.

    Honestly, I like the idea of making a game of this… say like Majestic or the Beast.

    And link it to a conspiracy… of psychics? :)
