Tel Aviv University social media page hacked by Pro-Palestinians

Palestinians shout slogans during a protest against the peace agreement to establish diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, 15 September 2020. Many are against the agreement between the UAE and Israel, as they consider it breaks a consensus between Arab countries not to formalize diplomatic relations with Israel before the establishment of the Palestinian state.

The social media page of Tel Aviv University was hacked on Tuesday night, with posts including pictures of activists holding Palestinian flags, along with a  link to the song “My Blood is Palestinian” by singer Mohammed Assaf. The posts were removed after the hacking attempt was discovered.

While the posts were up, the hacker requested that people add him to their contacts, as well as inviting them to follow him, and uploaded several pictures while changing the profile and cover photos multiple times, many of which read: “free Palestine”.“

One of the posts read. “I promise this is the last account [I share]. admin, I promise you I’ll leave this page alone, I don’t feel comfortable here anyway. ”Students reacted to the situation with a sense of humor, posting several jokes in other university related groups in response to the event.
