"Jewish people named me as the general of Israel’s hackers.", "If they appear again, I again come to save Israel." - I would say that this guy is highly delusional or this is some cheap way of trolling people supporting Israel.
I would say it's almost definitely the former.

I've seen the exact same sentiment, mentality, and actions from just about every politically-motivated "group" (using that word very loosely here) on the face of the planet. I've seen Saudi hackers deface websites with Quran thinking that somehow this'll make Islam more popular, and "Zionist" hackers deface websites with degrading pictures of Palestinians thinking that would champion their beliefs.

Ultimately these "hackers" are all script kiddies, no surprise they talk & think like kids too.
Delusions of grandeur are fairly common among people with no regard for the law.
I conclusively prooved you are isolating me and pinning me to my past. I laugh because you are an atheist. That's hilarious.

id, "what are you waiting for? Is it possible you can answer up, right off, and tell what anybody on the other side of the earth is doing, and yet can't tell what a person is doing who isn't three yards from you? Persons behind me know what I am doing with my right hand--they will indorse you if you tell correctly." He was still dumb. "Very well, I'll tell you why you don't speak up and tell; it is because you don't know. _You_ a magician! Good friends, this tramp is a mere fraud and liar."

I looked for a simple sound file format for exporting.

Apple SND files have a simple header and can do raw uncompressed waveforms at a limit of 8,000 Hz.

If intellectual property must require some intellect and not just zombie mental activity, there is no IP in my uncompressed SND files.

The SND file can be imported by Microsoft Moviemaker. I make BMP files and make movies.

I used to be a coward. Now, I'll wait to get sued by Apple or Microsoft. I have no worries -- God is just. He'll give me a brilliant idea or something if I get ripped-off.

Yes, but I reckon that a person with such delusions and skills to acquire 100,000 accounts would at least be able to generate a message that doesn't sound so retarded as this one. Or realise that google translate is actually useful.

With regards to skills, executing scripts written by others and finding zero day exploits require different levels of skill. Additionally he also may be very young, thus not understanding the implications of what he is doing, or how others perceive immature language.
Pretty delusional if you ask me. Sadly, this whole script kiddies war is doing more harm than good to each side.

I wonder how many of these are even real. It would not be hard to generate a big text file of emails and passwords.
This dataset is indeed with very low quality - I spotted multiple duplicates, empty lines and logins without emails.

I estimate that there are actually ~80k of unique accounts there. And really not sure whether any of these works.

After quick grep of the files, I get < 15k emails. Likewise, not sure if they actually work.
Either way, it creates panic. People would want to see if they're there. It's all about proper marketing really.
Politics aside, how does Pastebin manage to keep up its business?

They seem to have become one of the very few reliable communication hubs for individuals with, let's say very strong personal views (i.e. Anonymous, Hackers, Etc).

I have been thinking the same thing for a while now, I hope that someone has a clue on this one.
They adhere to the DMCA and safeharbor laws..?

Simple as that.

So do lots of services though. Hell, MegaUpload did. If you reported an infringing file to MegaUpload, they would remove it - and the same goes for many other websites. But that just doesn't cut it any longer, you often need to be more proactive to survive.

Personally I think the reason pastebin.com has survived is that it's not hosting videos or music. As soon as people start base64 encoded video en masse then things might change :-)

Are there any ZDnet that aren't link bait? It seems that every article from there is low on content and high on sensationalism.
Not in my experience. Invariably terrible.
Could it not have been just simple phishing? The low number of compromised passwords (20k according to the article) would make me think so at least.
Sigh. As a citizen of Israel, I'm upset and somewhat worried about the "cyberwar" that has begun between Israel and people who dislike us. I have no doubt that it's possible to wreak havoc on the Israeli economy given enough time, effort, knowledge and Internet access. That knowledge and access is now increasingly available in Arab countries, and there are plenty of people there who want to hurt us in some way.

The Israeli government claims that they are taking such threats seriously, but I'm not convinced. Rather, I'm concerned that this is the beginning of a low-level online war that cannot end well for anyone.

My concern doesn't, however, translate into support for online vigilantes who think that playing tit-for-tat games of exposing Arab users' accounts, credit-card information, and other data is acceptable or even desirable. Exposing the online data of innocent Arabs won't improve Israel's security, won't help to improve our image in the world, and won't deter Arab criminals who enjoy the publicity and notoriety of exposing Israeli credit-card numbers or bringing down our national airline's Web site.

I'm all in favor of the Israeli government using its security knowledge to defend its citizens, or to attack our enemies. But it's going to be a nightmare for a lot of people, Israelis and Arabs alike, if we encourage in any way, shape, or form individual criminal acts and exposure of innocent bystanders' data.

As a citizen of Israel, couldn't agree more. I'm very worried about what's going to go down here. It's going to be very ugly for everyone.
