Claims emerge that a telecom company's system access in Turkey is for sale on the Dark Web

It has been alleged that the corporate infrastructure of a telecommunications company operating in Turkey has been breached and that the system access obtained is being offered for sale on a cybercrime forum. According to the information shared, payment for the access package is requested in Bitcoin.

According to claims reported by Dark Web Informer, which monitors Dark Web threats, server and authentication privileges belonging to a Turkey-based telecom provider were listed in the sales advertisement. The ad claims that the seller has accessed the company's Azure Active Directory environment and possesses SA privileges, which signify full administrative authority over the database system.

According to the technical details reportedly included in the ad, it is claimed that approximately 100 servers and workstations can be accessed within the compromised network. Furthermore, it was alleged that there is no active antivirus or EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) security software on the target systems. It was also reported that the seller indicated the target institution's annual revenue is in the range of 25 million to 50 million dollars.

The amount requested for the access package in question was stated as 2,487,240 Satoshis, or approximately 0.02487 BTC. It was noted that this amount corresponded to approximately 1,920 dollars at the time the news was published.

The trade name of the targeted telecommunications company was not included in the advertisement. The allegations have not yet been verified by official institutions or independent cybersecurity experts. It remains unclear at this stage whether the access allegedly put up for sale is active, whether it is based on an old leak, or whether the advertisement is for fraudulent purposes.

Cybersecurity experts point out that in similar cases, institutions should rapidly review their authentication logs, privileged account activities, and endpoint security status. If an official statement is made regarding the matter, the scope and accuracy of the allegations will be better understood.
