onedrive 土耳其 Among Cloud Services Blocked in Turkey

In Turkey, one of the cloud services blocked is OneDrive. OneDrive is a file storage and synchronization service provided by Microsoft.

Several other cloud services have also been blocked in Turkey, including Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud.

Turkey blocked Dropbox, Microsoft's OneDrive, and Google Drive in a bid to stem a tide of anti-government RedHack leaks.

The blocks were issued at the internet service provider (ISP) level, with major Turkish telcos restricting access to the services.

Some sources indicate that smaller providers are not enforcing the ban.

The site TurkeyBlocks.org noted that while Dropbox was blocked entirely, Google Drive was only partially restricted.

This might be because so much of Google's cloud infrastructure is interdependent.

The ban was reportedly eased after Google removed links to the email cache.

Turkish tech community members are outraged, saying they need these tools to do their jobs.

Many have resorted to using VPNs to bypass the blocks.

A Turkish software agency employee noted that the only good thing coming from this is that they've discovered software to set up a VPN easily.

The blocks have caused various issues, including the restriction of access to Github.

The emails leaked by RedHack appear to indicate that Albarayak repeatedly discussed business deals and internal government policy in messages hosted on US-based servers.

Turkey has blocked access to specific platforms, including Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

The block was imposed after RedHack, a Turkish Marxist hacking group, leaked a huge cache of 57,000 emails allegedly exposing government corruption.

The blocks were issued at the internet service provider (ISP) level, with major Turkish telcos restricting access to the services.

Dropbox was blocked entirely, while Google Drive was only partially restricted.

Turkey has lifted its block on Dropbox and Google Drive, allowing users to access these file sharing services again.

The block was imposed after Energy Minister Berat Albayrak's private emails were hacked by the Turkish Marxist hacking group RedHack.

The hacking group had demanded the release of two Kurdish and leftist writers from prison, but their demand went unheeded.

Dropbox and Google Drive issued SSL errors, indicating interception at the national and ISP level, before the block was lifted.

OneDrive, Microsoft's cloud service, remains blocked.

The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) issued an official notice blocking Google Drive.

Turkey blocked access to several cloud storage sites and online services, including Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and GitHub, in an attempt to stop the spread of leaked government emails.

The block was likely a response to the hacking group RedHack, which leaked 17GB worth of personal emails belonging to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Berat Albayrak.

RedHack claimed that it wouldn't leak the emails if Turkey agreed to its demands and released leftist dissidents from pre-trial detention, but the government refused.

The leaked emails, which date from April 2000 to today, show how Erdoğan uses his position to control the media and even suggest which stories should be published in pro-government newspapers.

Turkey's court confirmed that the emails are authentic, which likely solidified the government's decision to block access to the cloud storage sites.

The government also requested that Twitter suspend RedHack's account, which Twitter did, further limiting the group's ability to share the leaked emails.
