He's only 17-years-old, but the Israeli hacker known as '0xOmer' has already made headlines after publishing hundreds of Saudi credit card numbers, in retaliation against Arab hackers, claiming to be Saudis, who published tens of thousands of Israeli credit card details on the internet last week.
"This is just the beginning," 0xOmer told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "We have over 300 Saudi credit card numbers in our possession... and over 10,000 personal details of people in Saudi Arabia, including full names, emails, and addresses. If they publish one more little detail on Israel, we will attack in full force and publish all of the credit card details," he said.

The Israeli hackers are interested only in sending a warning to anti-Israel hackers at this stage, and stopped short of providing credit card information that can be used to make fraudulent purchases, the hacker added. "I didn't publicize the three digit number at the back of the card [necessary for online shopping]," he explained.
"My role is to find and exploit security breaches in the highest levels," 0xomer said. Another member of the team, codenamed 7ukk1, is in charge of defacing websites targeted by the hackers, and handling foreign media relations.
Now...what were you up to at that age... a sly ciggie at the back of the schoolyard, perhaps?
