The National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM), which was established to detect rapidly rising cyber threats in Turkey and the world and take the necessary precautions, came to the fore with an interesting access barrier. According to published information, USOM blocked access to the platform called DistroWatch on the grounds that it spread malware.
USOM is on the agenda with DistroWatch access ban
DistroWatch is a platform that reviews and compares distributions of Linux and other open source operating systems. However, the platform allows users to decide between different Linux distributions and choose the most suitable one.
DistroWatch, where you can access news about the most popular and current Linux distributions, is among the sites visited by many people in our country. DistroWatch, which has come to the fore on social media, has been blocked from access in Turkey.
