Hackers Looking to Shut Down President Obama's Website Mistakenly Hit Website of International Communications Expert Who Authored a Book on Obama's Communication Skills

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Yemen hackers mistakenly hacked the site of international speaker, best-selling author and communications expert, while trying to attack personal sites of President Barack Obama and the White House.

Gil Peretz, author of "Obama's Secrets" and owner of attacked site (www.Barack-Obama.co.il), said, "I own the domain. It's a professional domain that was established to add value to readers of our Hebrew edition of the book. I am surprised these hackers did not check their targets before attacking. There might be a connection between the coming debates and the attack, still it is ridiculous. I am not Obama, I am not one of Obama's staff, I am an Obama expert. I help business people deliver power messages. No more than that. These hackers made a mistake."

Based in Palo Alto, California, Peretz helps corporate leaders and sales forces deliver powerful messages, knockout presentations and "outside the box" pitches in order to beat competition. Lately, Peretz was the pitching mentor for Microsoft's first startup accelerator in an effort to encourage more entrepreneurs to build their cloud-based applications using Windows Azure. He is known as someone who excels in helping first-time pitchers speak with passion and energy, and be in their "peak state" while asking for investors' money.
