JERUSALEM (AP) – A hacker claiming to be a 19-year-old Saudi posted thousands of Israeli credit card numbers and other personal data online – the hacker’s second politically motivated attack this week.
The hacker released the details of some 6,000 active accounts on late Thursday, on top of the 15,000 made public earlier in the week, said Yoram Hacohen, the head of Israel’s data protection agency.
The hacker claims to have published details about 400,000 Israelis and blamed the ‘Zionist lobby’ for covering up the size of the leak, in remarks published on the Internet on Thursday.
‘I’ve hacked much more than you can imagine,’ wrote the hacker, who goes by the pseudonym 0xOmar and affiliates himself with group-xp, a known Saudi hacking group.
