Hello friends, I wanted to share an incident that happened to me in 2014 and the issue I opened on ***; Friends, at 03:21 on 11.12.2014, someone uploaded a file to my server in .zip format. They have sent an email on behalf of Turkish ******* nationwide. It was an invoice notification email. The email stated, "Dear Customer, you have a 3,250 TL invoice." The invoice email is identical to Turkish *******. There are buttons like View Invoice and Invoice Details in the email that redirect to my website. It appears as xxxx.com/Turk*******_Invoice_Details.zip (a file resembling a virus), but I did not upload this file, and a few people have complained about it without my knowledge. I consulted authorities in IT security, who advised me to fill out a complaint to the prosecutor's office. I will be submitting the complaint tomorrow. I am worried about facing penalties because this is entirely beyond my control. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. *** Topic and Comments: [Link to the post]

Legal Process: The following day, I filed a complaint at the courthouse prosecutor's office and stated in my complaint that the situation was unrelated to me. I also submitted the log records. The outcome was revealed through a notification that arrived at the muhtar's office on Friday, February 9, 2018. After several years, let me explain the outcome briefly: I filed a complaint at the Konya courthouse, and the suspect was identified in Erzincan. However, based on the log records, it turned out that the user was a Vodafone subscriber. The user was found to be a 56-year-old resident of a village in Erzincan. The individual testified at the police station that he had no involvement in the incident. A forensic examination was conducted on the signature in Vodafone's records, which did not match the signature on the contract. It was also stated that in the event of a retrial, the legal expenses would be the responsibility of the plaintiff.
