COMPUTER hackers published details of thousands of active Israeli credit cards after breaking into Israeli websites, the chief executive of Israel's largest card company said yesterday.
Dov Kotler, CEO of Isracard, part of Bank Hapoalim, said 400,000 Israeli credit card numbers had appeared online but most were incorrect or invalid.
Israeli media said a Saudi-based group had hacked into websites in Israel.
Kotler said Isracard had analyzed the information and found that only some 14,000 numbers were valid, including 6,600 issued by his company.
Some stolen card numbers were used in Internet purchases but Kotler said Isracard had blocked further transactions and clients would be reimbursed.
