Oykun İlgün, Head of the Department of Combating Cyber Crimes, states that they aim to prevent victimization before a crime occurs with training and information activities. In İlgün’s statement, particularly suspicious connections and unrealistically attractive offers stand out. Meta Türkiye and Azerbaijan Public Policies President Sezen Yeşil draws attention to the role of education in helping users recognize fraud methods.
The bulletin lists security control, two-factor authentication, passkeys and privacy control among the tools that users in Türkiye can benefit from. Suspicious link warnings on Facebook also accompany these tools. Thus, the campaign brings to the agenda the pre-protection of accounts as well as the reaction to be shown when encountering suspicious content.
Account security tools and fraud reporting stand out
However, strengthening account security does not mean that every offer encountered is trustworthy. Measures that make it more difficult to take over an account and methods that try to persuade the user to make a fraudulent purchase or other deceptive transaction target different risks. The campaign’s call to re-evaluate links and offers therefore finds a direct response in daily social media use.
The shared newsletter does not disclose the exact end date, the number of users targeted to be reached, or a new security feature specific to the campaign. Users in Türkiye can get information about reporting suspicious attempts and protecting their security from Meta’s Turkish center without waiting for campaign content.
