The fact that the hacker 0xOmar leaked information from a large number of credit cards belonging to Israeli citizens caused a lot of commotion, and pro-Israel hackers are determined to retaliate and win this unofficial cyberwar.

A Pastebin document provides the statement of the “pro-Israeli person,” who claims to be part of the hacker collective called Nuclear Group.

“Nuclear Group is now helping Hannibal and more pro-israeli hackers in the world, to fight against the Arabs. So what we did is just that we hacked into one of the biggest banks in Saudi Arabia, and we are proud to publish 4,800 Arabs Credit Cards today,” the hackers said.

Hannibal is the hacker that claims he is in the possession of 30 million login credentials which he plans on publishing online little by little in the upcoming period.

Judging by the data leak, the credit card numbers, passcodes, CVVs, expiration dates and card types look genuine, but it’s difficult to determine the information's precise origin.
