Anonymous gives keys to play with Israeli Power Stations.

When you go through the tweets of @FuryOfAnon, infact, his first tweet, you will find a Pastebin link with some IP addresses and logins. Those logins and IP addresses aren’t normal, those sensitive (no longer) logins information belongs to Israeli supervisionay control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

Industrial-control facilities, including nuclear power and water treatment plants, use SCADA software to control and automate machinery. Might heard about infamous Stuxnet worm? That infamous was responsible for hijacking SCADA system at Iranian nuclear-fuel processing plant in July 2010.

FuryOfAnon's leak comes one day after an Israeli hacker calling himself Omer Cohen, (hacker name "0xOmer"), posted the names, credit card numbers, phone numbers and email addresses of more than 400 Saudi Arabians.
