A cyberattack was launched on the website that United Hatzalah uses to solicit donations for lifesaving equipment.
According to United Hatzalah's president and founder, this is terrible because it keeps us from being able to restock our field volunteers and keeps us from saving lives.
It was obvious that the system was being attacked online because of the tens of thousands of requests per second that are flooding it.
