A major cybercrime case has been announced in Turkey
Turkish law enforcement agencies have announced a significant indictment in one of the largest cybercrime cases in the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the prosecutor's office, a group of young people illegally accessed the government's confidential databases and stole and sold personal information related to state officials. It is reported that 20 individuals are involved in the indictment, 13 of whom were minors at the time of the crime in 2021.

According to the investigation results, hackers breached online platforms belonging to the Ministries of Internal Affairs, Health, Education, as well as insurance companies and city municipalities. The criminals used the stolen data to forge electronic documents and later sell them.

The prepared documents included academic certificates, police records, real estate documents, and prescription medications. According to the investigation materials, the hackers also obtained the real 11-digit identification number of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and personal information of several ministers.

They offered clients to prepare various medical records and other official documents via the internet. The theft from the database was detected in 2021, and starting from April 2022, the police and prosecutor's office began operations to arrest the suspects.

Recently, an official indictment was announced, and the case was presented to the court. If the charges are proven, the participants may face up to 15 years of imprisonment.

Previously, there have been cases of stealing information from high-ranking state officials in Turkey. For example, in 2016, unknown individuals publicly disclosed personal information about 50,000 citizens, including the president.

At that time, the criminals claimed that their actions were directly aimed at the president. These incidents highlight the urgency of issues related to state security and the protection of personal information.
