After the hacker attack, the Turkish Data Protection Authority (KVKK( has announced on its website that the data breach has been regularly notified by Yemeksepeti in compliance with the article 12 of the Law n. 6698 on personal data protection in force in Turkey in compliance with all the data security obligations, and for this reason it has promptly started an investigation on what’s happened, by precising that the data subjects affected by the breach are 21.504.083, which were all informed by email in order that that can adopt measures to protect their stolen information by hackers, which include user name, address, mail, phone number, password and IP address.
