Official fb Accounts of Garanti Bankası, Denizbank, Renault Turkey, Ülker, Nokia Turkey, Burger King and Acun.com Hacked
The official Facebook accounts of several companies were hacked on Thursday night by a group of hackers trying to promote the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The pro-PKK hackers changed the Facebook profile pictures of the following companies: Garanti Bankası, Denizbank, Renault Turkey, Ülker, Nokia Turkey, Burger King and Acun.com. They placed the picture of Abdullah Öcalan, the jailed leader of the terrorist PKK organization, on the profiles instead.
The digital marketing agency 41? 29!, which manages the Facebook accounts of these companies, reported on Thursday night that most of the accounts had been restored to their original state.
The head of the agency, Alemşah Öztürk, said on Twitter on Thursday night that they were working to restore the Facebook accounts in cooperation with Facebook, Inc.
The agency also stated on its Facebook account that as soon as it discovered the attack, it notified Facebook, which immediately deactivated the hacked accounts.
Stating that this situation did not constitute a security risk for the followers of the accounts in question, the agency also added that there has been no loss of data from the companies' accounts.
