It has been claimed that TurkNet, one of Türkiye's leading internet service providers, has been subject to a cyber attack. It has been claimed that the static IP addresses of many subscribers have been exposed following the incident, and users are concerned about data security.
What is a static IP?
A static IP (Internet Protocol) address is an IP address that is manually assigned to a specific device and does not change. It allows devices to be identified on an Internet connection or local network. Unlike dynamic IP addresses, static IP addresses do not change with each reboot.
What happens if a static IP is compromised?
Static IP addresses hijacked by cyber attackers can pose serious security risks. Attackers can use these addresses to gain unauthorized access to networks or servers. Malware can be spread and firewalls can be bypassed via a hijacked IP address.
Additionally, a stolen IP address may be blacklisted if used for illegal activities. This may result in email blocking or access to certain websites being blocked. Users should regularly check their IP addresses and increase security measures to minimize security risks.
