Hacking incidents are continuing one after another. This time, the target of the hackers was TurkNet, one of the most popular internet service providers.
Hackers claimed that as a result of the cyber attack on Turknet, they obtained the name, surname, telephone number, subscription number, Turkish ID number, identification information, address and static IP information of some customers.
The hackers also stated that they would leak the entire database if TurkNet did not send 3 Bitcoins (BTC) within the specified time.
TurkNet officials confirmed the hack attack and made the following statement on the subject:
“For the information of the public,
As TurkNet, since the day we were founded, we have considered trust, transparency, accountability and corporate governance as our top priorities. We present this statement to the public as a requirement of our responsibility within the framework of these principles.
