Odatv: A Case Study in Digital Forensics and Sophisticated Evidence Tampering
released on 2016-12-21 @ 12:36:48 AM
Arsenal is currently developing a detailed case study related to our analysis of computers essential to the Odatv case in Turkey. Odatv is a secular news organization founded in 2007 with a reputation for being critical of Turkey’s government and the Gülen Movement. Prosecutors in this case have alleged that Odatv journalists (and others) were members of the Ergenekon terrorist organization, based on documents recovered from two particular computers. We have found that those computers, used by Odatv journalists Barış Pehlivan and Müyesser Yıldız, were attacked in a relentless (and fascinating) fashion - ultimately resulting in placement of the incriminating documents just prior to seizure by the Turkish National Police. We will be sharing our findings as we are able on this page and perhaps even open sourcing some aspects of our analysis.
