Hacking has always been around.In the last few years hacking has become a top security issue among many countries.
Israel is now treating hackers as terriorists.
The message from Deputy Foreign Minister Dany Ayalon came after a self-defined "Saudi hacker" from a cabal known as "group-xp" published details of more than 6,000 Israeli credit cards online that "The US has announced that any attack on its cybernetic space would be considered a declaration of war and that it would go as far as firing missiles to respond to such an attack. This is a good criterion for us all".
Israel responded saying that from now on it will treat hackers the same way they treat terriorists.
You know you a badass(excuse the language)Hacker when you are considered a terriorist.
Almost immediately after an Israeli computer expert declared the hacker's true identity to be 19-year-old Mexican waiter Omar Habib, the Israeli website Ynet claimed the real hacker contacted them via email to mock the false identification.
“If a stupid student thinks he can find me (within) 8 hours of work, what will Mossad do? But I'm still here and no one can find me, make sure, no worries,” said by Saudi hacker 0xOmar of “group-XP”
"It is necessary to send a message to everyone who attacks or tries to attack Israel, including in cyberspace, that they are putting themselves in danger and that they will not benefit from any immunity against reprisal actions from Israel" Ayalon said.
After examining the details, Israel's major credit card companies said only 14,000 valid cards had been exposed.
