Banks in Saudi Arabia began implementing tight security measures after Israel threatened to retaliate against a credit card attack by a Saudi hacker.
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon compared the hacking -- which exposed credit card information of thousands of Israeli card-holders -- to a terrorist operation and vowed that no Saudi entity would be exempt from any retaliation by Israel, al-Arabiya reported Monday.
Because of Ayalon's comments, several Saudi banks began to increase security on their transactions and stepped up monitoring of their Web sites Saturday, officials told the Arabic-language news network.
