Turkish government networks were hacked on Wednesday, compromising
the private information of staffers in PM Tayyip Erdogan’s office, a
source in PM’s office confirmed to Reuters. The attack was in support of
the ongoing anti-government protests.
Staff email accounts were reportedly accessed after a phishing
attack, and those affected were cut off from the network, a source said.
Anonymous hacked the Prime Minister’s official website
(basbakanlik.gov.tr) and gained access to staff email addresses,
passwords and phone numbers, the group said in a press release.

The group also stressed it will not share most of the hacked data because it “respects people’s privacy” and “does not believe in the full use of power against the weak.”
At the same time, the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) hacked the website of the Turkish Ministry of Interior (http://icisleri.gov.tr) and released more than 60 email addresses and passwords.
The SEA declared it also hacked other government websites, including dosya.icisleri.gov.tr.
On Sunday the hacktivist group Anonymous has taken down the Turkish President’s website, along with that of the country’s ruling party, as operation #OpTurkey kicked off in support of the anti-government protests.
As of 22:40 GMT, the website of President Abdullah Gul has been
offline, together with the website of the country’s ruling Justice and
Development Party (AKP), the websites for the Istanbul Directorate of
Security and the Istanbul Governor’s Office.
The hacktivists earlier targeted municipal governments in Mersin and Izmir.
The operation was kicked off in response to the police crackdown of
protests which have taken the country by storm. The Gebze Institute of
Technology has also come under digital fire.
