JERUSALEM — The credit card details of more than 20,000 Israelis were exposed on the Internet in two waves this week by a hacker or team of hackers who said they were Saudis.


Some Israeli officials described the release of the information as cyberterrorism. Others said that it was too early to define the nature of the attack because there was still no way yet to confirm who did it.

Within hours Israel Hacking Organization responded by sending abuses reports to hosting providers of such files, I have seen tremendous effort in their activities making it all most impossible for massive spread of the exposed cards on the Internet, now leaving them only with the ones floating on torrent servers, 4 days ago Security agencies within and outside Israel making all possible effort to block all the cards and remove them from the web.

Its quite pity to see somebody's credit card details and other confidential info flying on the Internet, but it always reminds me how mischievously Israeli-an Business Maggot defrauded thousands of his client over 5 Billion USD.

I guess cyberwar or cyber terrorism will be the menace of 2012.

* China repositioning and empower its Cyber Defence
* Israel establishing Cyberwar Headquarter
* U.S already established Cyber Command
* Switzerland first to established Cyber war Defense Unit
* Nigerian Army dreaming the same.
