Anonymous hackers say will re-launch attacks on Turkey
ANKARA (A.A) - June 14, 2011 - The hacker-activist group "Anonymous" said Tuesday it would take action against Turkey again and re-launch attacks on government websites at night.
Hackers' threat came one day after Turkish police detained 32 members of the Anonymous cyberactivism collective on suspicion of planning attacks on a number of websites. Police later released nine people who were under 18 years old.
Arrests came in response to a complaint filed by Turkey's Telecommunications Authority against Anonymous who accuses Turkish government of internet censorship through a new filtering system to be introduced on August 22.
In a statement on Tuesday, the hacker group said it would continue attacks which were started last week and stopped for June 12 Turkish parliamentary elections.
Anonymous said new cyber attacks would be a higher-level operation, adding that it would not steal any information from websites. Hacker group said it would not attack on internet sites of political organizations or media companies, however, it did not give any other details about targets.
Meanwhile, a senior Turkish official said that hackers could use many IP addresses by the help of modem passwords and warned people to update their anti-virus software and upgrade firewalls.
Serhat Ozeren, head of the Internet Board of Transportation Ministry, said that people should not share their passwords for internet access.
"Otherwise, a person whose computer is involved in committing a crime, is considered a criminal, and s/he must vindicate himself or herself," Ozeren said.
