Anonymous: Hacker unleashes 17.8GB trove of data from a Turkish national police server
Anonymous: Hacker unleashes 17.8GB trove of data from a Turkish national police server
It's a leaked database from 2010, which was being sold to and used in lawyer's offices. You can search a name - surname and get the person's ID number, address, and his/her father's and mother's name. It's a pretty screwed up situation.
In other words, every turkish citizens information stored in that database is ready to be downloaded on the chtulu website
Mernis project:
Turkish Identification Number was developed and put in service in context of a project called Central Registration Administration System (Turkish: Merkezi Nüfus İdaresi Sistemi, abbreviated as MERNİS),[2]
The idea for the project was born in 1972 after the Population Registration Law was enacted. Following infrastructural works done by the State Planning Organization and later by the Middle East Technical University, the World Bank financially supported the project in 1996 with credit.[4]
The cost of the project amounted to US$35 million. Personal data of 70 million Turkish citizens, 5 million Turks living abroad and 24 million dead were recorded in a databank with the help of the personal identification number using a special software that was developed for US$400,000. Moreover, 23 million records of married, divorced and naturalized people were added giving identification number.[5]
After accomplishment of the initial issue of the personal identification number, it is being given only to newborns and naturalized people.[2]
The MERNİS database is in online service since the end of November 2002, however not fully open to the public for secrecy of private data.[4]
