A team of Turkish hackers claimed responsibility for the recent spate of attacks on several major Swedish websites, which had been temporarily shut down due to data overloads, and threatened further revenge if the Nordic country burned copies of the Koran. “If you desecrate the Quran again, we will start spreading the sensitive personal data of Swedes,” Türk Hack Team told Swedish media, claiming to have had access to “large amounts of data” supplemented by data provided by “other pirate groups”. another serious threat to Twitter. A Türk Hack Team spokesperson described them as nationalists, but at the same time dismissed any connection with Turkish President Erdogan, who has repeatedly said that Sweden cannot expect any support from Ankara after the burning of the Koran. .Last week, Turkish hacker forums were teeming with calls for cyberattacks on Swedish authorities and banks as revenge against Danish-Swedish politician here Rasmus Paludan of the fringe party Hard Line for burning down the Koran in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm. The Sveriges Riksbank, the country’s central bank, said it was aware of the threat but refused to admit it was targeted. Bilateral Swedish-Turkish relations have deteriorated following a series of high-profile provocations, including one where a picture of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was hanged in Stockholm, a cartoon contest organized by a Swedish newspaper to taunt the Turkish ruler and, more specifically, the burnings of the Koran by Rasmus Paludan. The latter sparked outrage across the Muslim world and sparked calls for a trade boycott of Sweden. Combined, these events have even put a damper on Sweden’s NATO ambitions, with Turkey stressing that the ratification of Finland’s and Sweden’s NATO accession protocol “under current conditions” was impossible. In May 2022, Sweden filed a joint NATO application with its eastern neighbor, ending two centuries of non-alignment.
