Our personal data is in danger again! Put up for sale on Telegram

According to reports circulating on social media in recent days, there are allegations that personal data has been put up for sale on Telegram channels. However, it is known that this type of trade is not exactly new.

Approximately two years ago, it was revealed that information held on e-Devlet (e-Government) had been leaked and that this information was being offered for sale on the internet. Subsequently, information that the data of all citizens was being sold on online platforms was reflected in the public domain. Recently, it has been alleged that access to such data has been provided on Telegram.

NOT NEW INFORMATION

Although it is claimed that the data circulating on Telegram is current, some experts state that this data is not up to date. In fact, it is observed that the leaked and sold data is generally not new information, but that malicious individuals who access this data are developing alternative methods.

Previously, allegations that data belonging to platforms such as Yemek Sepeti, Getir, e-Nabız, and e-Devlet had been leaked had also come to the agenda. Every year, news about data being leaked from many platforms frequently appears. With digitalization, it has now become a general consensus that the security of this data is a serious problem. Hackers can collect this data and engage in various malicious activities, including perception operations.
