Saudi hackers going by the name "Group-XP" have allegedly released the stolen personal info of 400,000 Israelis.
The group hacked One.co.il, the largest sports site in Israel, redirecting users to a new site where their login info and other personal data could be stolen. The group says they have credit card details, including expiration dates and security codes listed on the back of the cards, social security numbers, names, addresses, phone numbers and more.
Says the group: "We have hacked a lot of Israeli servers and extracted a lot of information about Israeli people. We decided to give the world a new year gift, about 400,000+ Israeli people information!!!"
One group member, "Oxmar," would go on to say that in total they have 1 million Israeli social security numbers and will release them in the future.
Israeli banks have refuted the claim, however, saying the hackers stole 15,000 credit cards, at most, and that those cards have already been blocked. Victims will be receiving new cards within days.
