I always assumed it was officially sanctioned by the Israeli government, for some unspecified (but almost certainly nefarious) purpose.

Not sure if your assumption was based on the TLD, but `.is` is Iceland, not Israel (which is `.il`).

Why Israel? From the TLD? IS is Iceland. Israel would be IL.
