Details of 1476 accounts were leaked from the website of the Church of Cyprus  , including a complete list of names, e-mails, encrypted passwords as well as 3 administrator accounts with the same password.

The hackers with the alias Security_511 appear to be operating from Abudhabi.

The competent administrators of the Church of Cyprus must IMMEDIATELY take the necessary measures and repair at a technical level the weaknesses used by the hackers to gain unauthorized access. The server that was attacked must be placed off the network and thoroughly analyzed for digital evidence, in order to identify the exact way in which the intrusion was carried out and to expel the attackers in case they have penetrated other servers in the network under investigation.
