Faction warfare.

EDIT: I got downvoted, without a reply. So, explain how doing this sort of thing is not faction warfare?

The details of israeli credit is leaked by anons from the house of Saud. This is clearly a faction issue. It is not likely government sponsored (though likely condoned) and as a religious rift exists between jews and muslims, the word faction applies perfectly.

Jews, muslims, christians; all factions within religious zealotry.

I have an israeli credit card. I'd have liked to understand where this was leaked from. And - well - make sure that mine is not among them. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the file isn't available any more.

I also have three of them...

I think once that file was online even for a few minutes, the card numbers mentioned in it are not safe anymore. It will be leaked again.

If it's not some kind of provocation (files with false data) then this is a pretty big crisis. I'm going to have to monitor my credit card logs closely in the next few weeks...

Which one is more safe? Letting it go so media picks it up, forcing people to renew their cards with less damage to end users or covering it and let the underground community sit on it, using random cards time to time from an endless stash?
