Popular smartphone messaging app WhatsApp has had its website hacked by a pro-Palestinian group.
Gust MEES's insight:
As with the AVG hack, the group claiming responsibility for the defacement is the KDMS team, who appear to have a pro-Palestinian agenda.

A mystery virus has infected the network of Qatar's natural gas pumper RasGas, prompting bosses to pull the plug on the biz's internet connection. Office systems have been unusable since the malware struck on 27 August, according to local reports. In a fax to suppliers, the company reportedly said: "RasGas is presently experiencing technical issues with its office computer systems. We will inform you when our system is back up and running."
The RasGas website, rasgas.com, remains unreachable at the time of writing on Thursday afternoon. A spokesman for the firm told Arabian Oil and Gas that the malware outbreak was not affecting gas extraction and processing.
The virus infection follows a strikingly similar attack against Saudi Aramco on 15 August, which hit 30,000 workstations and forced the world's largest oil company to suspend access to its internal and remote networks for 10 days. Oil production activities were not affected by that outbreak either.
