Turkish Gov't Retaliates After Hackers Release Police Data Via Twitter (ibtimes.co.uk)
New submitter NeonBible writes with this news from IB Times UK: The Turkish government has retaliated against a number of Twitter [users who] posted links to a compromised database stolen from a national police server. The users, which include two Anonymous-affiliated accounts, sent out notifications to millions of followers containing a direct link to a huge 17.8GB-sized trove of sensitive data earlier this month. Among the websites targeted by the government security affairs division were @CthulhuSec, @YourAnonNews, @CryptOnymous and also an alleged news organisation called KurdishDailyNews.org.
It's a combination of a horrible summary and horrible article. Maybe we can take the horrible article from IBT with a grain of salt because they don't purport to sell themselves as technical experts, but NeonBible and timothy should have done a better job. The real problem is that too many summaries on /. just copy some text from the article without actually summarizing it to (a) point out the technical relevance, (b) highlight the salient technical details, or (c) provide a decent initial (unbiased) comment.
Exactly. Timothy needs to put a bit of effort into his work.
