Ransomware Attack Disrupts Operations at Turkish Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTHK)
Bilgi Teknolojileri ve Haberleşme Kurumu, Turkey’s information technology and communication authority, was hit by an attack on March 28, 2025. The company stated that the attack was detected at an early stage and successfully prevented without any data loss or system disruption. "Contrary to claims in some media outlets, all of our Institution's systems continue to operate securely and are closed to the outside world. Additional security measures have been implemented. Necessary updates are being rapidly implemented. In this context, following system improvements, routine work will begin as planned on Monday, April 7, 2025."
On April 4 Kibrispostasi news reported that the website is inaccessible, communication records have been deleted, and number portability between operators has been blocked.
