Hi Shimi,

Thanks.

What I am trying to find out is if there are any Israeli ISP's that actually offer protection against DDOS attacks and if there is any stated public policy on such attacks. For example, is there a legal requirement for individuals or ISP's to report such crimes as there is with other crimes? Does the government view the liability for damages resulting from such attacks as a private responsibility like burglary or fire insurance even when the attack is committed by an enemy of the state? Is this written anywhere and is there any applicable case law? How big or persistent does a cyber attack have to be for it to be considered a public issue? Or has no one in government ever considered the question?

            But unless your friend shows that he is taking serious steps to 
prevent this type of thing in the future no ISP has to allow him onto their 
network, there are ISPs that specialize in hosting sites that are prone to being
            attacked but the price is
            obviously accordingly.


For example?

Not a recommendation in any way, just an example.
