Look like an impatient patriot Israeli took revenge by publicly posting more than 400 credit card numbers belonging to Saudi Arabian citizens.
The sensitive data was publicly posted on pastebin by some unknown, self claimed Israeli called Omer Cohen, on Tuesday. The data includes credit card numbers and expiration dates and some entries even contained cardholder’s names.
On Saturday, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon equated cyber attacks with terrorism, saying the country is prepared to respond, following the Israeli credit got exposed publicly.
On Monday, Ayalon's personal website was targeted by hackers. His website briefly redirected to a different domain containing Arabic messages and the note "Hacked by Foxy + TKL and Gaza HaCKeR Team."
Although efforts to contact Ayalon's office were unsuccessful, he wrote on his Facebook page on Monday that "this morning some Muslim extremists hacked into my website to try and prevent me from continuing to do my work on behalf of the State of Israel, especially my online public diplomacy. We will not be weakened nor silenced by such attempts!"
