The number of Israelis whose personal information was stolen by Turkish Internet hackers has risen to at least 100,000, Haaretz newspaper reported Sunday.
Erez Wolf, an Israeli blogger who operates We-CMS website, reported Friday that tens of thousands of e-mail addresses, passwords and personal details of Israeli web surfers are in the hands of Turkish hackers.
In a Turkish hackers online forum, Wolf found a document containing the e-mail addresses and passwords of more than 30,000 Israeli web users.
On Sunday, Haaretz said TheMarker.com website has learned another file circulating on the internet contains the e-mail addresses of an additional 70,000 Israeli web users.
Among the websites from which information was stolen for the first Turkish hacker posting was Israel's Pizza Hut.
Pizza Hut confirmed Saturday that e-mail addresses and passwords of 26,476 customers who ordered pizza from the company's website in early June had been stolen.
Pizza Hut officials said that credit card data is not stored on the website, so customers do not need to fear financial loss stemming from the information theft.
Relations between Israel and Turkey have been strained since Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound aid flotilla on May 31. Nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists were killed in the confrontation.
