BlueHomes.com, a website that deals properties from countries such as Germany, Spain, Austria or France was hit by an anonymous hacker who claims to have leaked 500,000 user's sensitive information.

A Pastebin account reveals that employees and customers can suffer after the plain text document reveals passwords, full addresses, database access credentials and Skype log-in data.

The company has not responded yet to the incident but it's clear they'll have a lot of work to do to clean up a mess of this proportion.

BlueHomes customers and employees are advised to take immediate measures to prevent any unpleasant incidents. Considering the large quantity of spilled data it's probably wise to change the passwords to all the accounts and contact your bank if you presume that the issue might affect the integrity of your savings.
