In a posting on Pastebin on Monday, a hacker known as "0xOmar" claimed the attack had been carried out by "group-xp", which he explained was the "largest Wahhabi hacker group of Saudi Arabia".
"We have hacked a lot of Israeli servers and extracted a lot of information about Israeli people," the message read.
"We daily use these cards to solve our problems, purchasing VPNs, VPSes, softwares, renting GPU clusters, renting cloud servers and much more! We decided to give the world a new year gift, about 400,000+ Israeli people information!!!"
The hacker claimed the attack was the first in a series that would aim to expose the details of one million Israelis.
