Israeli hackers: We've obtained Saudi credit card info

The major credit card information leak, a by-product of the activities of the Saudi hacker who has been sneering over attempts to locate him, has not been ignored.



Israeli hackers who spoke to Ynet claimed on Monday that they have managed to lay their hands on the details of thousands of credit cards used on Saudi shopping websites. Ynet has confirmed the hackers' reports. "If the leaks continue, we will cause severe damage to the privacy of Saudi citizens," one of the Israeli hackers threatened.



Speaking to Ynet, Mohammad, a Saudi resident, confirmed the details and tried to find out how his telephone number and information was discovered. "That is my name and those are my personal details, but I don't know anything about a credit card leak, no one told me anything," he said before hanging up.
