After analyzing the data, I have found usernames, emails and plain text passwords of staff and daily users. While two of the accounts belong to the admin of Press News UK site with encrypted passwords.
The News Press UK is published byDanny Lockwood, who is also the publisher of Rugby League newspaper League Weekly and a former Gt Britain (BARLA) international rugby league player. He is also the owner and Managing Director of The Press Newspaper, a weekly regional newspaper based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
JokerCracker is the same person who breached into the website of National University of Bangladesh leaking 15,000 login information and Proximus Security Website leaking credentials of 20,000 users.
