WikiLeaks Blocked in Turkey over Leakage of E-Mails of Turkish Government

Turkey is no longer broadcasting WikiLeaks' website. This has happened after the country's capital Ankara is striving hard to adjust with the consequences flowing from the military's unsuccessful attempt to take over the government. This' also when around 300,000 e-mails from the mailbox of AKP, the Justice and Development Party of current President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan were leaked on the Internet.

The e-mails that have been exposed belong from the year 2010 till July 6, 2016 before the military coup was tried. WikiLeaks a political activist organization that was responsible for the leak said it did so because the Turkish government was facing a difficult situation post the attempted coup. However, the website noted that the leaked electronic mails weren't from the men-in-uniform who had plotted the coup alternatively from any of the opposition parties or country.

It's well-known that when Turkey holds any political event or protest the government first blocks the social media. Similarly, when another company leaking content through Thomas White an activist from UK who published an enormous repository of private details of Turkey's police officers, was censored Turkish government initiated the shutdown of the company's website, and blockage of its content. However, the censorship didn't fructify for neither White's website host nor the social-networking website 'Twitter' that were ordered to eliminate specific material actually complied. Motherboard.vice.com posted this, July 20, 2016.

Each of the leaked e-mails was spammed in what's called phishing. The phishers targeted the bureaucrats so they could be made to divulge their sensitive information, like passwords, -done with a social engineering tactic of making the civil servants feel lucky.

WikiLeaks confirms anybody going online in Turkey will still find the electronic mails provided they deploy a VPN (virtual private network) for diverting their traffic alternatively type inside their Web-browser a WikiLeaks' Internet Protocol address.

WikiLeaks' ultimate aim is to expose approximately 800,000 classified documents that tell of the best practices which the AKP Party and its chief Erdogan, president of Turkey follow.

A WikiLeaks post notes, any secret e-mail it publishes for the public chiefly relates to global matters and not sensitive credentials.
