RT: Turkish government networks were hacked on Wednesday, compromising
the private information of staffers in PM Tayyip Erdogan's office, a
source in PM's office confirmed to Reuters. The attack was in support of
the ongoing anti-government protests.
Staff email accounts were reportedly accessed after a phishing
attack, and those affected were cut off from the network, a
source said.
Anonymous hacked the Prime Minister’s official website (basbakanlik.gov.tr) and gained access to staff email addresses, passwords and phone numbers, the group said in a press release.

The group also stressed it will not share most of the hacked data
because it “respects people's privacy” and “does not
believe in the full use of power against the weak.”
