Omer Fatih Sayan, President of Information Technologies and Communication Authority warned citizens against spy applications. "Close the access of your applications to your camera and your microphone," he said.

Sayan indicating that some spyware mask itself, said, "Not all are known as spyware. There are applications for you to record the normal conversation in the Application store. Whichever application you try to download, will try to reach the camera, microphone, phonebook, photo gallery. You actually give permission to the third sides by accepting this."

"Do not download every application to your phone, check the permissions of the applications you have downloaded," he suggested. (ILKHA)
