The Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the United Kingdom suffered a double hack in recent days after two separate hacker groups managed to breach their official website.
First and foremost, the Kurdish group Mezopotamia Hackers hacked the website and a message was posted on the right side of the main page as a sign of protest against what appears to be the Roboski massacre that took place in 2011 and which led to the death of 34 Kurdish villagers after an air raid that originated from Turkey.
While their motive was quite clear, it is not yet known whether the Mezopotamia Hackers stole any information or simply only posted this message on the homepage.
In a separate hack, Kapustkiy, who is known to have accomplished many breaches of chambers of commerce, managed to compromise the site, this time with an attack that allowed him to access the full names, emails, phones and addresses of multiple individuals.
Kapustkiy confidentially stated that he has already gotten in touch with the site administrators, but received no response, so he decided to leak only a part of the data to prove that he indeed had access to this database.
At the time of writing this article, the website appears to be hacked and the message posted by the Mezopotamia Hackers is still there and there is a good chance that the vulnerability created by Kapustkiy has not yet been fixed. This means that the details of many hundreds of users continue to be exposed.
