Hackers have posted the credit card information of thousands of Israelis on the Internet, local media reported on Tuesday. The details of about 15,000 Israeli credit cards were posted on Monday evening on the One sports website by an international group of hackers. The group appeared to have targeted Israeli credit card companies Isracard, Leumi Card and Cal, the Jerusalem Post reported. The three credit card companies said they blocked Internet purchases for the affected cards and were planning to contact cardholders as soon as possible. Isracard and Leumi Card said the victims of identity theft would be compensated. Meanwhile, the Bank of Israel said customers will not bear responsibility for any fraudulent use of their cards. It recommended customers to carefully check their credit card statements and report any problem to the relevant company as soon as possible.
Saudi hackers claimed on Monday to have published the credit card details of as many as 400,000 Israelis. They published the list of cards, names and other personal details.
According to Army Radio, the hackers encouraged readers to use the information posted online to make purchases, and said they would continue to publish more account information already in their possession.
