"Remember Emad" hacker group claims it has taken control of an Israeli 
server - The group published lists of passwords for Facebook pages, 
credit card numbers and email addresses belonging to Israelis.

A hacker group, apparently from an Arab country or countries, claimed on 
Wednesday that it had breached the Israeli WebGate company's server and 
gleaned information stored in its Web pages.

The hacking comes six months after a Saudi-based hacker group published 
the credit card numbers and personal details of what it claimed were 
more than 400,000 Israelis on the Internet. Israeli credit card 
companies later said the number was closer to 15,000.

The new group said it would publish the information it gathered in

Facebook passwords, images of checks and credit card numbers belonging 
to thousands of Israelis.
