A hacker is selling two pretty voluminous user databases belonging to two Turkish sites.

Neither site has confirmed a data breach, but they both appear to be somewhat outdated.

The data that is for sale includes email addresses, weakly encrypted passwords, and physical addresses.

Someone is selling a database containing 600,000 user records that allegedly belong to ‘Gezginler.net’. The records contain usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords (md5), and the seller is also offering a sample as proof of the database extraction. MD5 is a cryptographic hash function that is nowadays considered insecure, so if you have an account on Gezginler, or if you may be using the same credentials on another website, go ahead and reset your password as soon as possible.

Clearly, this particular seller is focused on Turkish platforms, so we may see more databases from websites operating in the country appearing online soon.

The two Turkish websites that we see in these listings appear to be outdated, at least in terms of their user interface, so we wouldn’t be surprised if their security isn’t up to par.
