A secretive Turkish organisation, calling themselves Ayyıldız Tim, trying to position themselves as Ataturkism Nationalists and following Kemal Ataturk’s (the builder of modern Turkey) philosophy, seems to have done some random hacking in India.

They have hacked into the sites of a few lesser known news media organisations, such as India Press Agency –IPA Newspack and Commentwise. They have left a logo and a message on the sites, suggesting their action was part of Islamist movement. That they have moved into the sites with unreliable firewalls proves that the group has yet to develop a strategy regarding who to and how to target.

On their site (https://ayyildiz.org/# ), they announce their twitter account opening as: New Twitter Account Opened! (26.05.2017), indicating that they are a relatively new phenomenon.

Their motto, “Beyond It Is Independence Or Death!” also seems a trifle overstated.

According to an IPA report, the hackings were perfunctory, probably just as announcements, and the sites were down for a couple of hours before their technical teams got them restored.

The message the hackers left on the site are as follows (Google translation): “prosecution is the time to visit every nation” (sic). “The CYBER-WAR will be appeared all the countries which not respecting Islam.”

There was no Trojan placed, with the hacking being somewhat aimless, deleting all physical files. The hackers failed to breach the security of the database and the sites were up and running, according to IPA Editor-in-Chief Nitya Chakraborty.
