HACKERS HAVE POSTED logins for Israeli government web sites and industrial system control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in retaliation for a threat of violence.
On Monday after thousands of its citizens' credit card details were posted online by a hacker, an Israeli government official warned that it would hit back at the hackers with force.
Danny Ayalon, Israel's deputy foreign minister described the attack as "a breach of sovereignty comparable to a terrorist operation, and must be treated as such", adding, "Israel has active capabilities for striking at those who are trying to harm it, and no agency or hacker will be immune from retaliatory action."
Today a Twitter account belonging to Furyofanon posted its reaction to those threats, a list of addresses and logins for Israeli government systems.
"Who wanna have some fun with israeli scada systems... http://pastebin.com/ZyEzJnFB #Anonymous #Antisec #OWS," said the message that linked to a document containing the information. The same message has been repeated a number of other times by Twitter users.
A hacker, known as 0xomar, claimed to taken credit card details belonging to 400,000 Israelis, however credit card companies quoted a lower number of 25,000.
The Furyofanon account where the leak originated is a new one with few followers at the time of publishing, however, it does have the backing of Anonymousabu, who said that the account belongs to one of his associates.
0xomar is thought be a 19 year old United Arab Emirates student studying and working in Mexico, though reportedly he has denied this. µ
