1. He thinks too highly of himself.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.11.12)
Israeli hackers need to show the extent of their skill to these hackers. The only way to stop this is to outdo the other hackers to the point that nothing they could do would beat it. The Israeli hackers must destroy their will to strike back and make them afraid. So the guy is using bot networks. There are ways to counteract those if I remember correctly. Israeli hackers should not be using kid gloves in this matter. They need to dominate their adversaries.

Computer Bin Laden. The end would be the same.
3. The Imprtant thing is he represents Arab Peace
diamonddave ,   Chicago   (01.12.12)
What a wonderful demonstration of Muslim acceptance and peace with Israel. Why, Israelis have nothing to fear from surrendering the Golan, West Bank, etc... see what kind peaceful neighbors you'll enjoy!
4. So. what is the big deal? new cards for everyone
DOV ,   USA   (01.12.12)
5. Thank you OxOmar. Thank you
Jerome ,   Auckland NZ   (01.12.12)
Now you made it easier for us Jews and Israelis to explain what sort of beasts we are dealing with in trying our best to make peace. Honor, revenge, kill and murder is your mantra. When one of you has finally obtained a PhD he works on developing explosives, so you beasts can kill more innocent people.
6. Jazakallah brother!
OJ ,   Lebanon   (01.12.12)
And all other Muslims who join with 0xOmar :)

IAF. Please shut dumb add's computer off use an arrow
9. He is not a Saudi!
Majid ,   Saudi Arabia   (01.12.12)
Please be aware that the Hacker is Palestinian who lives in Saudi after Israeli army killed all of his family members in a night raid by a jet fighter (F-15).
10. Stupid,do this whit persian cards.
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (01.12.12)
Israel is not problem to Saudi Arabia. But IrĂ£n maybe do whit Saudi Arabia,the same that Sadam did whit Kwait if USA dont bomb them first. Stupid Sunni.
11. I doubt he is from saudi arabia because ..
shadi-Gaza ,   Gaza strip   (01.12.12)
simply , the hacker uses native English language in his posts ... no Saudi can use English 100% in speaking or writing ..... the hacker is impersonating himself as an Arab but it seems he is not ...
12. Real hackers don't flaunt it.
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (01.12.12)
Eventually he will slip up. Eventually if he keeps talking we will find him. If he is using a bot network we need to trace back through the command and control channel to the Rendezvous point. This can't be a passive monitor either, we need to filter based on traffic flows and go back from there. It is possible he is using something non standard but it is a good place to start. TCP port 6667 is most commonly used. It will take time and more importantly control systems to trace out where everything is coming from.
13. #4(Dov) This is a very big deal
Natan ,   Boston MA   (01.12.12)
replace the credit cards, and they will gain access to new ones. What's more important is the Israeli shutting down the electric grid.. Learning how to produce and shut down Israeli weaponry, stealing Israeli technology... blowing up uranium enriching centrifuges.. sounds familiar? Cyber warfare is at the forefront.
14.  besides credit cards, release info ,
UNCLE JOE ,   USA   (01.12.12)
release quotes from the so called quran to show the evil and barbarities advocated in it. release details of as many cases as possible of the so called ''HONOR KILLINGS ''and throat slitting release pictures of the garbage and utter filth that the muslims live among, in their so called ''countries let everybody in the world know all about it .scum bags ,filthier than sewer rats .to hell with you all .god bless ISRAEL.
15. SAUDI HACKER
UNCLE JOE ,   USA   (01.12.12)
CATCH THE SAUDI HACKER ,AND HACK HIS PECKER . said shaekespear.
16. Look at the reverse side of yuur own card
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.12)
There is an extra set of digits, that should be used when the card used for internet or phone transactions transactions All the merchants have to do, to authenticate the ownership, is simply to request the extra digits, without the digits transacton won't go through
17. Yawn...
Harry ,   Toronto   (01.12.12)
This BS has become tiresome. This Omar degenerate is dead in the water. Banks replace stolen credit cards every day. Not even news in the western media. Really? Who cares about stolen credit card info? Please....some real news.
18. Oxomar: 72 Dark Hair Virgins ...
(01.12.12)
Oxomar--the 72 dark hair virgins are preparing for your arrival...
19. Yeh...all you'll have left to fear is yourself.

20. dear mossad/idf
Rabin ,   hamercaz   (01.12.12)
please airstrike his face.
21. Why does Ynet give free publicity to ox
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (01.12.12)
22. Agree with #1
A ,   Belgium   (01.12.12)
The Israeli hackers didn't want to release the credit card info they had found in order not to hurt innocent people. Well, this guy sure isn't playing nice, and he's doing what he says he would do...releasing information without getting caught. So isn't it time for Israel to release a cyber-nuke or something? I'm sure they are better at this than anyone else.
23. On a fundamental level, 0xOmar is 100% right
Nour ,   One State   (01.12.12)
At the moment this brave Arab hacker owns "Israel". The published Saudi card info is totally wrong and even lacks the security numbers. Names and numbers dont match, some numbers are even long expird. Guys do us a favor, if you dont carry the weight of the threat, dont threaten!
24. This is just a wakeup call
Ezra ,   Sandiego USA   (01.12.12)
Security needs to tighten up on credit card servers. He will eventually get caught. He's not very creative; probably english is a second language.
25. to #9 F-15, giggle. it isn't Jetfighter,
ghostq   (01.12.12)
not even a jet. oh the head is in the clouds.
26. @Harry #17
Mikey ,   SomeWhere OverHere   (01.12.12)
And don't you know it will cause a lot f financial damage and headache to the Israeli economy and consumers if they have to constantly re-issue Israeli citizens' credit cards and forgive the debt made with fraudulent purchases made with the cards before the mischief is discovered? It's not a trivial matter and needs to be taken seriously.
27. His remarks just show...
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (01.12.12)
the level of hate that is common amongst Arabs. We really dont have any connection with people in Saudi Arabia, but look how they brainwash young people against us.
28. OxOmar listen for the silence
Mark ,   Somewhere   (01.12.12)
Mosad will blow you up where ever you are, in your home or your car be careful when you answer your next phone call it could be your last. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR CREDIT CARD WITH YOU as you will have to pay for all those virgins.
29. @Nour #17 re: security numbers
Mikey ,   SomeWhere OverHere   (01.12.12)
The Israeli hackers say they haven't published the security codes yet because they don't necessarily want to victimize innocent Saudi credit card holders who had nothing to do with 0xOmar's caper, at this stage they just want to show they have the capability to do the same thing or worse but they say if he continues, they'll release the info. In any case, your endorsement and calling "0xOmar" a "brave Arab hacker" shows you have no respect for law and support theft. I happen to think that two wrongs don't make a right, it is equally wrong for Israelis to victimize Arab credit card holders who had nothing to do with 0xOmar's crime, but reading your comment, I'd be quite happy should they release your info. By the way, I'm sure that many of the Israeli citizens whose credit card details were published happen to be Arab and Muslim.
30. To No. 10
Abdullah ,   Arabia   (01.12.12)
The game of Sunni should fight Shia is an old failing game. Try another one.
