Saudi Hackers’ Gift: 400,000 Israeli Credit Cards Available Online

Saudi hackers said they have released the credit card information of hundreds of thousands of ‘Israelis’ after hacking “one” webpage, one of Israel’s leading sports websites.

Saudi hackers said they have released the credit card information of hundreds of thousands of ‘Israelis’ after hacking “one” webpage, one of Israel's leading sports websites.

A hacker, member of the Saudi hacking group, Group-XP, confidently announced Monday that he penetrated one of the Zionist leading sports websites and released the personal information of hundreds of thousands of Israelis.

The hacker said he revealed information including credit card details, personal addresses, names, phone numbers and ID numbers of individuals listed on the website, One.co.il.

Zionist credit card companies said that the list is repetitive and only includes 14,000 Israelis, which implicitly confirms the hacking process eventually occurred.

They said they have blocked all the cards on the list, and will return customers their money should any purchases be made on the cards.

People who visited “One” website on Monday were redirected to a page on pastebay.com, where a message by a hacker who identified himself as xOmar 0 suggested visitors download a linked file containing a database of ‘Israelis’ and their personal information.

The file included a number of lists with the details of tens of thousands of people. One of the lists included 65 Zionists who purchased products from a website called Judaism. Another list included the details of 500 people who donated to rabbis.

According to the message posted by the Saudi hacker, Group-XP hacked into multiple Zionist websites from which ‘Israelis’ frequently purchase products with credit cards. He said the group’s goal was to reach the credit card numbers of one million Israelis.

The hackers called the cyber attack a "gift to the world for the new year," which they hoped "would hurt the Zionist pocket."

“We decided to give the world a gift for New Year's – the personal information of 400 thousand Israelis,” the Saudi hacker wrote.

He noted they (Group-XP’s members) found the idea of “400 thousand people crowding Israeli credit card companies and banks and complaining their credit card details were stolen, watching as Israeli banks shredding 400 thousand credit cards and issuing new ones,” was appealing.

Saudi Arabia's official news agency, a mouthpiece for the country's rulers, did not report the affair but it was covered extensively by Saudi websites. Many electronic newspapers made the affair their leading story.

‘One’ website recorded over 10,000 hits for the story, which was also featured heavily on Facebook. The responses were mostly good signal for the virtual Arab youth uprising and the real positions against the Zionist occupation entity.

"If I were a hacker I would wish for 800,000 credit cards to be leaked, not just 400,000," one Saudi talkbacker wrote. "It's allowed when it concerns Jews," others said.

The website, One, said they were looking into the issue, and shortly after the page was hacked it returned to normal activity.
