JERUSALEM  A weekend cyberattack campaign targeting Israeli government websites 
failed to cause serious disruption, officials said Sunday. The attacks followed 
warnings in the name of the group Anonymous that it was launching 
a massive hacking assault to protest Israeli policy toward the Palestinians.Yitzhak 
Ben Yisrael, of the government's National Cyber Bureau, said hackers had 
mostly failed to shut down key sites."So far it is as was 
expected, there is hardly any real damage," Ben Yisrael said. "Anonymous 
doesn't have the skills to damage the country's vital infrastructure. And 
if that was its intention, then it wouldn't have announced the attack 
ahead of time. It wants to create noise in the media about 
issues that are close to its heart," he said.Posters using the name 
of the hacking group Anonymous had warned they would launch a massive 
attack on Israeli sites in a strike they called (hash)OpIsrael starting 
April 7. Some said they were launching the assault in "solidarity" with 
the Palestinians.Israel's Bureau of Statistics was down on Sunday morning 
but it was unclear if it was hacked. Media said the sites 
of the Defense and Education Ministry as well as banks had come 
under attack the night before but they were mostly repelled.An Israeli government 
spokesman issued a statement saying sites were operating properly as usual. 
It said an Education Ministry site was down temporarily due to a 
technical issue unrelated to hacking attem
KINGSTON, Jamaica  Two Canadians and two Americans attempting a trans-Atlantic 
expedition have been rescued after a rogue wave apparently capsized their 
boat after 73 days at sea.The U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday that 
the four rowers were rescued from waters some 400 miles (645 kilometers) 
north of Puerto Rico.The group includes Adam Kreek, a Canadian Olympic rowing 
gold medalist. They were attempting to row between Senegal and Miami.The 
men took to a life raft Saturday after their ocean rowboat "James 
Robert Hanssen" overturned and could not be righted. They donned life jackets 
and set off a personal locator beacon.Guard crews located the men some 
five hours after getting a distress signal and a cargo ship later 
picked up the rowers. They are being transported to Puerto Rico.
