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 Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Dov Kotler, CEO of Isracard, a unit of Bank Hapoalim, said in a statement that a file containing 400,000 Israeli credit card numbers had appeared on the Internet but the company found that most were incorrect or invalid.<\/p>\n
Israeli media reports said a Saudi-based group had hacked into several websites in Israel to cull the numbers.<\/p>\n
Kotler said Isracard had analyzed the information and found that only some 14,000 of the credit card numbers listed by the hackers were valid, including 6,600 issued by his company.<\/p>\n
Some of the stolen card numbers were used in Internet purchases but Kotler said Isracard had blocked further transactions and its affected clients would be reimbursed.<\/p>\n
He said there were some 7 million active cards in the Israeli economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
