Commnet: Israel got stung with a hoax
=================================================================================================
By James NiccolaiAugust 7, 2014 06:55 PM ET IDG News Service - Intel was the target of an elaborate hoax Thursday that drew attention to its plan to invest almost US$6 billion in a chip plant in southern Israel.
An unknown person sent a fake press release to reporters saying Intel had decided to cancel the investment due to its "corporate responsibility goals." The release cited the "destruction and loss of life resulting from Israel's recent assault on Gaza."
The person went to some length to make the hoax look real, building a fake website that looked a lot like Intel's own news room. The release included the phone number for a supposed press contact who answered the phone to reporters Thursday, assuring them the release was genuine.
