As of Friday, the website was targeted by attackers from Russia, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Austria, among others.
The continued attacks brought down the site, causing it to be available intermittently and endangering the information stored on it.
Dov Yahav, chief information officer of the Jewish Agency, eventually decided to block the Corporate Web Server for external users, thus preventing possible damage.
