An unknown member of Anonymous has published a database online, claiming it belongs to Izmir Gaz, a Turkish utility energy and natural gas based in the city of Izmir, on the west coast of Turkey.
The hacker published the data online two days ago, and at that time Izmir Gaz's website was offline, providing some basis for the attacker's allegations (this page is still down during the publication of this article).
Along with the data, the hacker posted the following message, along with an apology to the citizens of Turkey.
"We violated www.izmirgaz.com.tr for two reasons: (1) the owners of the Company have good relations with Erdö [means Erdogan] (2) Izmir is the city where Binali Gildirim was elected Prime Minister. We do not publish citizen data. We are sorry we did not delete their payments / accounts because we had to move fast ".
According to the data found in the debug log files, the hackers seem to have violated one of the fundamentals data of the company where the data was stolen from.
The leak came a day after the announcement of a group of them Anonymous for #OpTurkey, for which some of the hackers took a stand against the Turkish government.
