1. Mr. Omar, maybe you should remember Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's end
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.07.12)
2. tough talk from Ayalon
Michael ,   Haifa   (01.07.12)
Good for you ! We must catch the s.o.b and make him sit on a little chair
3. Ayalon: you've never said anything intelligent ...
Rafi ,   US   (01.07.12)
... since being in office - and maybe before that as well. Your current foolish, over-alarmist threats continue that trend. Go back to kindergarten where you belong and play your chair games.
4. He might suddenly dissapear or have a traffic accident.
JoonJon ,   New York   (01.07.12)
5. Ayalon can do nothing
...---...   (01.07.12)
And everyone knows Ayalon can do nothing. So he is left looking like an idiot. The point is Israeli company's security systems were totally inadequate to a hacking attack of this type. Which face it shouldn't have been totally unexpected in Israel. Ayalon should be pointing his finger elsewhere. Meanwhile the hacker has boasted he is buying stuff using the details he has stolen. I suggest investigating where they are being posted to
6. As usual threats without actions
Ibrahim ,   Ramallah   (01.07.12)
"Israel" is threatning Iran since 10 years, and threatning gazza rockets since years, and threatning Hizbollah.... but at the end nothing will happen b/c Israel can't destroy those people..... Ciaoo
7. Goodby Omar, enjoy the virgins.....
Harry ,   Canada   (01.07.12)
8. Mr. Omar has to be PUT DOWN !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.07.12)
9. As expected, the honeypot has worked!
(01.07.12)
Omar is on the run
10. doesn't say much for Israeli cyber security...
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (01.07.12)
...if an individual hacker can get so far. As for Ayalon: talk is the meaningless currency of politicians.
11. We like Danny Ayalon (to #3)
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.12)
We especially appreciate his outstanding English videos on the Arab-Isreali conflict. Check them out on Youtube. Ayalon may one day become the Prime Minister of Israel or Foreign Minister. And whop are you Rafi, a nobody who does not even live in Israel. Enjoy America cause that where you belong.
12. WOW! How stupid after all the misuse of SPAM filters spying
Josh   (01.07.12)
With the blacklist and censureship headed up by technologies that escape US laws, I think he better look at which way he is pointing the business-end of his words. "Act of war"!? This is going to backfire. Israel has its own hacker history and a good hacker can frame any country.
13. Ayalon sounds like a spoiled brat!
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.07.12)
He's no better than the hacker. Israel is not suffering from an Iranian threat, but from a government that want's only continuous warfare with it's neighbors. When do Israelis get a break?
14. 13
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (01.08.12)
Not a good post-you don't understand what is going on in the ME.You have a computer-find out.
15. Humaneless Technology
Luddite   (01.08.12)
Ever since the dreaded harvester and motor car and jets humanity has suffered ,These with computors should have been banned like chemical and biological warfare now and we ought get rid of them as theyrob us of wholesome jobs Except for ambulances police cars fire trucks and tactical thermonuclear weapons i would say ban them . Genetic food technology is general with security safeguards good.
16. Cyberattacks Probably Hamas Iran Association
righthanded ,   USA   (01.08.12)
They use older software to fly under the radar using compatibilty programs to bridge to newer browsers. They Redirect mail taking technical hostages using dynamic transparent slide show. Breadcrumb server, they can make it look like your motther is the hacker. They moniter discussion boards and use the talkback features to program online bots.
17. Eichmann he's not
Arik Silverman ,   Chicago USA   (01.08.12)
Kidnap him? Oh, I get it, Ayalon wants to seat the kid on a low stool and give him a good scolding.
18. REMEMBER BIN LADIN & EICHMANN
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.08.12)
19. #13 Rich - Seems to me & others
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.08.12)
and the facts substantiate the fact that Iran has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, we take that rather seriously Peace with the neighbors, yiou mean the very neighbors who attacked us in four wars, the first on the very date the State of Israel was established You should check the air in Toronto, I believe what you are inahling is dape laden
20. uae hacker
joel ,   usa   (01.08.12)
the mossad has no doubt would get this muslim arab hacker; the mossad was able to "silence" forever the Hamas gun dealer: GET THIS HACKER SOON!
21. No kiddin ,...
split ,   US   (01.08.12)
Anyone remember Israelis dancing after the stuxnet attack at Iranian nuclear program and braging about Mossad skills ? Well, it looks like you have stepped on your own rake after the leaf job :),..
22. Israel must learn to take it as well as.....
Robert ,   Australia   (01.08.12)
....give it. In this instance no deaths have occurred unlike in Israel's cyber attacks.
23. #15, I was about to say that you sound about like a luddite,
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.08.12)
but then I saw the name - gave me a bit of a tickle!
24. #22 Robert, we'll see what your
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.08.12)
attitude will be, when some hackers divulge your information for others to use to their own advantage You're always so genorous at another's expense Rest assured, Israel took it & will now payback with interest added When Israel is attacked physically, it always reciprocates, in spades How about your Aboriginies, have you started help them to better their horrible conditions? Home is where the heart is, keep your nose there
25. #21 Split - You'll dance with joy
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.08.12)
when your own personal information, including financial, passwords & health are hacked into, which will affect you, making your own ratings lousier than they already are Iran nuke program, yes the very one that Iran has threatened to use against "The Great Satan", they're working on rockets capable of reaching the U.S., they have already said they have rockets capable of reaching all the U.S. Bases in the M.E., plus Eastern Europe You'll dance with joy when a stray rockets hits the hovel you reside in
26. #24 It's a daily occurence
Robert ,   Australia   (01.09.12)
Peoples' credit card details are hacked on a daily basis in almost every country around the world. Civilised countries don't declare war, they increase their security. And yes, whenever aborigines are supplied with a new house courtesy Australian tax payers, they generally break it up for firewood.
27. really??
Avi ,   israel   (01.09.12)
I do want the iranian nuclear program to be stopped, with an attack if need be. but what the hell iran has to do with a hacker that hacked CCs? the government cant take responsibility of things like that, this is idiotic on every possible level, to threaten with war based on a single hacker attack from a certain origin which is not even yet confirmed?! is he nuts?
28. Robert, even if it happens every day
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.10.12)
It still doesn't make it right & proper, only a deviant mind would think it would As for Aborigines, what they do with what is on the land you stole from them is their business, you don't owe them crummy wooden house, they should be living in mansions that are far better than your own hovel Yes, you were real nice to them, stole their children, infected them with TB and other European diseases Your lot perpetrated a Genocide that almost wiped them off the face of the earth
