MITRE ATT&CK®

Türk Siber Timi (Turkish Cyber Team) — Turkish nationalist hacktivist label publicly stating a hierarchical, rank-based structure and a ‘justice’-oriented hacktivism ethos. Open sources show the group claims a founding date of 07 Dec 2017, a military-style chain of command, and non-monetary motives; its Instagram slogan frames the team as the “CYBER SUPPORT OF TURKISH HACK TEAMS.” Operational tenets include leaving messages rather than locking accounts and capturing chat logs during social-media account access.

Türk Siber Timi (Turkish Cyber Team)

CLASSIFICATION: Unclassified / Open Source


Executive Summary

Türk Siber Timi presents itself as a Turkish nationalist hacktivist collective with a ranked, military-style chain of command and a “justice”-oriented mission. The team’s manifesto states a founding date of 07 December 2017, names an internal leadership structure, and emphasizes non-monetary motives and “disciplinary” rules for members. The group’s Instagram handle @turkish_elite0101 markets it as “CYBER SUPPORT OF TURKISH HACK TEAMS,” positioning the label as a supportive/auxiliary banner within the broader Turkish hacktivist ecosystem. While public materials describe how they intend to handle intrusions (leave messages, avoid locking victims out, capture chat logs), open sources do not document specific operations, victims, or technical artifacts under this banner. Overall confidence in organizational self-description is medium; capability claims remain lightly evidenced in open sources.
