<b>Objet :</b> [NCUC-DISCUSS] Reuters: Exclusive: Hackers acting in Turkey's interests believed to be behind recent cyberattacks - sources</font>
<div> </div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hey all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thought it would be important to share it here. Reuters reported today on a case of cyberattacks or, in their words:
<i>state-backed cyber espionage operation conducted to advance Turkish interests.</i> According to the article, the MO involved exploiting weaknesses in DNS to hack high profile victims, foreign intelligence agencies and human rights advocates. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div><i>"The hackers used a technique known as DNS hijacking, according to the Western officials and private cybersecurity experts. This involves tampering with the effective address book of the internet, called the Domain Name System (DNS), which enables computers
to match website addresses with the correct server.</i></div>
<i><br>
By reconfiguring parts of this system, hackers were able to redirect visitors to imposter websites, such as a fake email service, and capture passwords and other text entered there.<br>
<br>
Reuters reviewed public DNS records, which showed when website traffic was redirected to servers identified by private cybersecurity firms as being controlled by the hackers. All of the victims identified by Reuters had traffic to their websites hijacked -
often traffic visiting login portals for email services, cloud storage servers and online networks — according to the records and cybersecurity experts who have studied the attacks.</i>
