1. The hackers should know
R ,   Israel   (01.03.12)
that it's a two-way street. Their information is not safe either.
2. PRE-PAID cards with LOW balances, period
Ezra ,   USA   (01.03.12)
Anyone with a brain knows to have a PRE-PAID credit card for any online purchases that is assigned to a PO Box (apt. or suite). Fill it when u need it or know you'll use it. Don't Put large amounts on it. Period. Hack away. Cancel the card every 6 months and get another kind. Etc. Hackers stink: they're ruining the Internet. Alot of people simply won't buy online anymore. Businesses have to make an adjustment for other ways to pay, that's all. We can't keep going on like this.
3. better this, than one casualty. Next!

4. DO THE SAME THING TO THEM
(01.03.12)
5. While the entire political establishment along with the
Al   (01.03.12)
media is pissing their time away sowing the seeds of internal hatred, the enemy, the one who will, should they have the chance kill every single one of you, grows with strength. Grow up and focus on the things that are important, namely the security of the country and its citizens therein. You will lose the state with the behaviour you have been showing over the past while.
6. Saudis target Israel, oil fields might catch Stuxnet virus!
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (01.03.12)
7. Maybe Obama can punish them...
Curtis ,   USA   (01.03.12)
by selling them more fighter aircraft.
8. In US even small business pay large amounts for security to
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.03.12)
take credit cards and that adds to everything you buy if you use a card or not.
9. Time to hack Saudis, track Saudi terror money
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (01.03.12)
Saudi has been bankrolling terrorists and extremists. Who paid for the training of the 9/11 bombers ? Well, the 9/11 bombers did come from Saudi arabia.....what else can we find out by tracking the Saudi money accounts ?
10. who in their
Barney ,   USA   (01.03.12)
right mind would want to take on the Israelis in cyber warfare. Who has the brain power to do it? Certainly not the saudis.
11. It's a cyber jungle out there. But it's so cheap on E-Bay!
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.03.12)
12. How do we find out if we were on the list?
Yaacov Wolf ,   Herzylia, Israel   (01.03.12)
Ok, so how do we find out if we were on that list?
13. Ehad Elokanu but what is the company "One"?
(01.03.12)
what do they sale?
14. Return the favor, Israelis
Cameron ,   USA   (01.03.12)
15. One good turn deserves...
mark ,   usa   (01.03.12)
Israel ought to hack into the Saudi defense network and create some interesting scenarios for them...just to send a message.
16. payback
dennis ,   nj usa   (01.03.12)
Ok, the saudis have proved that they can play the game. But I imagine that Israelis can play this game even better. Time to raid the Saudi treasury and wreak some havoc on these Bedouin... Hopefully, some Israeli tricksters will now have some fun.
17. it's called syber terrorism, and now it
ghostq   (01.03.12)
is saudi arabia made. time to add another arab country to the list of bad countries, the oil just went to their heads.
18. Wouldn't it be fun to see those hackers . . .
nibor ,   israel   (01.03.12)
before a court in their own country? Wouldn't that result in arms being cut off, or other humane and modern punishments? Oh, I forgot, they were doing it to Jews. They would probably get a new house!
19. The new WMD!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.03.12)
Imagine a weapon, that could be delivered on our own phone lines, that was unseen and unheard. Imagine that same weapon could be delivered by nothing more sophisticated than a borrowed laptop. Imagine delivering the weapon required nothing more than some smart 20 year old Saudi or Syrian or Iranian. Imagine that same weapon had the power to cripple banking, electricity, water, or military command and control. Welcome to the new battleground. The billions of dollars worth of military might, we rely upon for our existence, could be rendered useless, with a simple keystroke. The rules of engagement have certainly changed!
20. Jealousy over successful state built in Islamic heartland
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.03.12)
21. What a bunch of demented sick assholes
Talula ,   Israel   (01.03.12)
These degenerates live in a country where kissing in the street can get you hanged and booze is forbidden amoung locals - if that's all they can find to entertain the world, then they are even more pathetic than we realized.
22. Arabs? Anonymous tracks go to China, Iran and Russia.
(01.03.12)
The real Anons are government agents, acting under a "cloud" of pimpled idiots who are manipulated as front-end sacrificial goats. Many of these idiots have been already put behind bars in Europe and the US, but other measures have been taken against government-sponsored cyber terrororists. As I see it, "One" was a mere honey pot, and the damage minimal, predictable and controllable. There are many other honey pots like "One", tempting Anon real memebres to reveal themselves, providing more tracks and more fingerprints. This is a job for the Mossad, CIA professionals. It's only a matter of time before the real Anon members are tracked and dealt with, one by one, including their handlers and commanders.
23. Payback or inside job?
Nechama ,   USA   (01.03.12)
I think is an inside job reflected outside of the country. Let's wait and see!... This shmatah brains aren't that smart! Mark my words!
24. Hack the Saudis Banks
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (01.03.12)
We should show them that you can't play with Jews and take our money back plus 50% to cover charges. Any good Jewish Hackers out there?
25. 9/11 was not enough"fun" for these indulged Wahabists?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.03.12)
Did they do the work themselves or did they pay "anonymous for them.? Most of the heavy work is done by foreigners in Saudi as is a lot of the high tech. Expect them to cry victim if something should happen to put out their lights.
26. Too bad. If they had been telling the truth then I would
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.03.12)
have said that they were true Anon. However the evidence that it appears to be BS is disappointing. The days of true Anon are over, I guess.
27. It would be funny if Israeli hackers hacked into Saudi
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.03.12)
government computers, just for their own amusement at the Saudi rage. This would be a triumph not seen in ages.
28. #25, actual Anonymous doesnt work that way. You can't pay it
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.03.12)
as it has no leadership or centralised anything. It's a decentralised group of people working towards the common goal of creating as much anger as possible in the pursuit of lulz. The charlatans you see posing as Anon today are really what one would call "white knights". True Anon don't do something because they feel it is right. They do it simply for entertainment regardless of any moral ideas.
29. Anonymous are desperate
(01.03.12)
They become more and more irrelevant. This latest stunt just proves that their list of "achievements" and fake "freedom fighting" is drying up. Inflating numbers, arrogance without merit, pathetic bravado and chest pounding is typical Arab. They build nothing and give nothing - they only take pride in destruction, killing, racism, lies and genocide, just as their Islam commands. They claim they stole 400,000 numbers, then it turned out it was less than 15,000. Then it turns out that most are obsolete and incorrect. Now go figure which is which, out of those 15,000! And how many of those belong to Israeli ARABS? Now, instead of seeing "400,000 Israelis in front of banks", they see 7million Israelis showing them the middle finger, and the rest of the world laughing at their lame claim to glory. It was a "New Year Gift to the world" allright: a good laugh and despise for a gang of impotent freaks hiding behind the Internet false anonymity. I guess they are not that proud anymore, and of course, they blame this on the Jews! LOL!
30. #5 too much cannabis my friend!
