It is reported that after the hacker organization, Anonymous, imposed DDOS attacks to the Turkey government website, Turkey government has initiated active response and immediate arrested 32 Anonymous members.
It is known that these 32 Anonymous members arrested by Turkey government were scattered in 12 cities in this country among which are the capital of the country Ankara and Istanbul, the port city located in the Northeastern part of the country.
This hacker organization is a loose organization consisted of a group of radicals. Generally, they tend to conduct DDOS attack toward organizations and companies they oppose. This attack denies users access to log on this website. Spain had announced for the first time in last Friday that it has mobilized police force to fight against Anonymous. Spain has arrested three members of this organization who are suspected to have issued DDOS attack toward banks, government websites and Sony and other companies.
Anonymous organization had also publicized an announcement on last Friday on its own website, AnonOps Communications that the purpose of their attacking the Turkey government was to protest the internet relevant plan released by the government in last August. The radicals from more than 30 cities in Turkey demonstrated in the street in this May to oppose this country's issuing this plan.
In the past several years, we have witnessed with our own eyes how Turkey government adopt various internet inspection measures such as filtering the content of YouTube, Rapidshare, Fileserve and thousands of other websites. This announcement highlights that the government has also denied users of the access to Google service in recent days. To users, inspection of this type is unforgiveable.
The Anonymous notes that it will adopt the Low Orbit Ion Cannon to conduct attack mission. The targets of this Low Orbit Ion Cannon include Turkey Tele Communication Bureau and Social Security Institution of this country. Low Orbit is an easy and convenient tool to issue DDOS attack. However, some public security-experts comment that law enforcement institutions can easily follow the tracks to find the user of this tool.
In last Saturday, the Anonymous organization remarked that they have got back at the Spanish police station and successfully conducted a four-hour long DDOS attack toward the website of the police station. Nevertheless, the website of Spanish police station has recovered its normal function in this morning.
Although, the attacks of hackers seem to be omnipresent, government can effectively protect the private information from being leaked through installing anti-spyware.
