    #Turkish Citizenship Database

    Who would have imagined that backwards ideologies, cronyism and rising religious extremism in Turkey would lead to a crumbling and vulnerable technical infrastructure?
    
    This leak contains the following information for 49,611,709 Turkish citizens: (IN CLEARTEXT)

    - National Identifier (TC Kimlik No)
    - First Name
    - Last Name
    - Mother's First Name
    - Father's First Name
    - Gender
    - City of Birth
    - Date of Birth
    - ID Registration City and District
    - Full Address

    **Lesson to learn for Turkey:**

    - Bit shifting isn't encryption.
    - Index your database. We had to fix your sloppy DB work.
    - Putting a hardcoded password on the UI hardly does anything for security.
    - Do something about Erdogan! He is destroying your country beyond recognition.

    **Lessons for the US?** We really shouldn't elect Trump, that guy sounds like he knows even less about running a country than Erdogan does.
