Source "RedHack the Turkey’s number one hacker collective today hacked into the website of the Turkey Electricity Transmission Company website. They then did something which will cheer a lot of Turkish citizens who owe large amounts to the Electricity department. They have claimed that they have deleted the pending bill of Turkish citizens amounting to Turkish Lira 1.5 trillion. This amounts to 668523705000.00 US Dollar at current market rate.
This is serious loss for the Turkish electricity distribution company if the claims made by the RedHack hackers are found to be true and the Turkish Electric Distribution company authorities do not have any backup to the website having the bill and liabilities details."
I'm not really sure how this story makes me feel. Obviously I'm a little disappointed that my initial vision of a specialty butchers coalition being the culprits here was just WAY off. My second reaction was that who the fuck knew Turkey had that much money, let alone in the form of electric bills? If I had to guess I would have thought Turkey's entire electric bill would have been a couple hundred bucks tops. That being said, words can't even describe the admiration I have for anyone who can make 670 billion dollars disappear. Yeah it probably took 10x the hacking skills to bring us the Fappening than it did for these guys to accomplish this. Most likely a disgruntled employee threw out the wrong floppy disk and, following the lead every celebrity lately who has posted an embarrassing/creepy tweet, simply blamed it on "the hackers".
Like I said, no clue how to feel about this. Just all kinds of WTF going on in my head right now.
P.S. - If it was me, I don't care if I hacked into a database with $670 billion or a Coffee Bean account with a 50 cent coupon, I'm fucking stealing that shit. Not a chance in hell this was simply 'deleted'
