Why This Report Matters

Turkiye’s threat landscape shows that different attack types follow different targeting logic. Dark Web activity focuses on data-rich sectors such as information, finance, retail, entertainment, and manufacturing, where stolen data can be sold or reused. Ransomware shifts heavily toward manufacturing and construction, where downtime can create direct financial pressure. Phishing targets e-commerce, retail, banking, car rental, automotive, and other consumer-facing services where attackers can steal payment credentials and personal data.

The report also shows that access sales remain a major risk. Listings involving network access, VPN access, administrative access, and stolen credit card data can support ransomware, fraud, lateral movement, and larger data breaches. For Turkish organizations, early visibility into exposed data, leaked credentials, access listings, ransomware claims, and phishing infrastructure is essential.
