A Chat With the Teen Saudi Hacker Who Says He Stole a Million Israeli Credit Cards

What drives a teenager to steal thousands of Israeli credit cards and slowly leak them to make a political point? We tried to figure out in a Skype chat with a 19-year-old Saudi hacker named 0xOmar.

For the past few days, 0xOmar has been doing his best to terrorize Israel with massive leaks of credit card information. On January 3rd, he hacked Israel's biggest sports website and posted a link to a file containing 400,000 Israeli credit card numbers. "It will be so fun to see 400,000 Israelis stand in line outside banks and offices of credit card companies to complain that their cards had been stolen," he wrote.
