Turkey?

• batuhanicoz 8y ago
  I don't understand the relation/reference. I'm Turkish and have been watching the news but I don't see any reason why someone correlates large websites being down with Turkey. With no explanation too. Can you elaborate please? This is an honest question and I would like to know if my government is hacking foreign sites in retaliation for sanctions.

    They would if they could.

    Retaliation would make sense, but I haven't dug deep in Turkeys APT crews lately. Most of the stuff I hear/read about is talking about Iranian, Russian, Chinese and roaming APT groups doing attacks. It also would make attacks from Turkish AS's more logical as the government would not likely do something about 'their own' for free.

    Well Trump obliterated any chance of a decent lira value for the next years with his tweets and sanctions.

      Why would you think that Turkey would retaliate against Trump's tweets by taking down reddit and GNU.org? I don't think that the Turkish government has nearly enough technical knowledge to pull of something like that. That is the problem with Turkey right now, it seems to me that the government doesn't want to work with qualified people.

        Honestly, I wouldn't dismiss the technical capabilities of the Turkish government.

      Turkey's government was on that way already, Trump just gave it an extra push.
