Short description: Turkish nationalist hacker group

TurkHackTeam is a Turkish nationalist hacker group founded in 2002. Ideologically they are Kemalists and define themselves as the "Turkish Cyber Army".[1][2]

They state that their goal is to fight against all kinds of cyber threats against Turkey. They have appeared on news headlines on many international news portals.[3][4]

History

The group claimed responsibility for the hacking of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party's website in 2008.[5][6][7][8]

TurkHackTeam went on a spree of attacking Iranian and Russian websites in 2016 amid the Syrian civil war.[9] During rising tensions in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, they participated in cyberwarfare against Armenian hackers.[10] In 2017, for unknown reasons, they hacked the official website of the UK Police.[11] In March 2017, during a brief period of tensions between the Netherlands and Turkey, the TurkHackTeam launched their "Netherlands Operation" where they hacked and defaced over 250 Dutch websites in less than a month.[12]

They also hacked Star Alliance.[13] TurkHackTeam is also a platform that prepares social projects. The first of the projects was to send morale letters to the soldiers and police after the 2016 Turkish coup attempt.[14] In the same year, they distributed food in Africa through an association.[15] Later, some group members gathered on 10 November and went to visit Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.[16] In 2017, the group, which collected books from its members, donated these books to secondary and high schools, and created libraries.[17]
