Members of Anonymous, the international online hackgroup, recently targeted the Turkish Prime Ministry's computer network in order to acquire electronic correspondence between government agencies but were repelled by the efforts of cybersecurity specialists, according to Today’s Zaman.

The nature of the information the attackers reached is not clear.

Anonymous gained fame after launching online onslaughts against governments ranging from Spain to Egypt and companies, including Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. The group was also active in Turkey last year protesting government plans to set up a national Internet filtering system.
