Brussels –APA. A Turkish hacker group by name of AyYildiz Team made Europe anxious.

According to APA, German Focus magazine published an article titled “Turkish network attacks European Union” and said that nationalist Turkish hackers tried to hijack the computer system of the European Commission and to get secret information. The magazine referring to the Commission’s secret report said that on June 13 AyYildiz Team entered to the closed section of EU foreign policy and security commissioner Xavier Solana’s web-site, which contains secret documents, and loaded own program codes there. However the hackers couldn’t get secret information and had to stop virtual attack because experts of the European Commission continually update the Solana’s page. It was noted in the report that it is possible to determine the hacker’s place, but it needs in the assistance of Turkish government.
AyYildiz Team is regularly hijacking the web-sites close to PKK terrorist organization. The nationalist hackers are not partial to the attacks against Turkish people in the different countries.
