GetContact is an application that is used a lot in Turkey and has become popular recently. The company defines the application as follows:
“GetContact lets you know the caller’s identity even if it’s not saved in your contacts. It filters annoying calls and lets you only allow your preferred contacts to contact you.”
The allegation that the famous journalist Nevşin Mengü was hacked a short time ago had also hit the Twitter agenda like a bombshell. The so-called hacker, who was mocked on social media, was caught in a short time and action was taken against him. Recently, the increase in data theft in our country and in the world has started to scare people who are intertwined with technology.
