14 DAY TRIAL // The notorious hacktivist collective RedHack continues its offensive against the Turkish government. Their latest target is the official website of the Union of Municipalities of Turkey (tbb.gov.tr).
The hackers leaked the usernames and the passwords of the site’s members. The passwords are hashed before being stored in the website’s database, but RedHack has cracked and published them in clear text.
The website of the Union of Municipalities of Turkey has been taken offline following the breach, most likely to prevent unauthorized access.
The hacktivists have dedicated this attack to Ali Ismail Korkmaz, one of the protesters who were killed by police during the Ocuppy Gezi protests. After gaining access to Union of Municipalities systems, RedHack created an account with Ali Ismail Korkmaz’s name.
The attack is also dedicated to Utku Kali, a Turkish soldier accused of leaking secret documents on the recent Reyhanlı bombings.
RedHack claims the Turkish government cannot prove that Utku Kali has leaked the documents.
Last week, the hackers breached the website of the Adana Water and Sewage Administration, publishing the login credentials for its admin panel.
