To resolve this situation, unauthorized access to information infrastructure has been restricted, passwords for users of the Unified Identification System (OneID) have been renewed, and additional security measures have been strengthened.

At the same time, the capability to provide or restrict personal data to other systems with the consent of the owner has been implemented.

Official agencies have stated that no data leakage has been detected in their systems. The Statistics Committee, the Tax Committee, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have reported that their systems were not breached through external sources.
