SAUDI ARAMCO VE KHARG’A DÜZENLENEN<br />
SIBER SALDIRILAR<br />
Stuxnet operasyonunun yanı sıra, dünya petrol<br />
arzının %10’unu karşılayan Saudi Aramco<br />
petrol şirketinin ve İran petrol ekonomisinin<br />
yapı taşlarından kabul edilen Kharg petrol<br />
rafinerisinin maruz kaldığı siber saldırılar,<br />
petrol ve doğal gaz endüstrisinin siber saldırılara<br />
karşı ne denli kırılgan olduğunu gözler<br />
önüne seriyor.<br />
Petrol üretme kapasitesi ile dünyanın en<br />
değerli şirketlerinden biri olan Saudi<br />
Aramco’nun 2012 yılında ‘Shamoon’ virüsü ile<br />
uğradığı siber saldırı, küresel ekonomide<br />
yaratabileceği büyük zarar paralelinde son<br />

The threat caused by cyber attacks is also<br />
growing for Turkey day by day. The research<br />
report of Trend Micro for the second quarter<br />
of 2014 has revealed that Turkey is the sixth<br />
most frequently targeted country by cyber<br />
attacks. The data presented by Arbor<br />
Networks shows that the cyber attacks<br />
against Turkey is above the global average.<br />
As a matter of fact, while there has been a<br />
68% decrease in cyber attacks worldwide, the<br />
cyber attacks against Turkey has increased<br />
6%.<br />
BREAKING POINT IN THE CYBER SECURITY<br />
PERCEPTION: OPERATION STUXNET<br />
The Stuxnet virus which has suspended the<br />
operations of the Busehr Nuclear Facility in<br />
Iran and is designated as the first cyber<br />
weapon worldwide was a significant breaking<br />
point in the cyber security perception. As<br />
a very smart software, Stuxnet infected the<br />
computer system which controlled the operation<br />
of the Busehr facility and corrupted the<br />
software being used for controlling the centrifuges.<br />
Even though it was declared that<br />
nuclear programs were not damaged, it is<br />
known that the damage is around $800 million.<br />
The operation Stuxnet means much more<br />
than a cyber-attack due to the damage it<br />
caused. It is observed that this very complex<br />
virus had been supported by governments<br />
and intelligence agencies and it was a work of<br />
long term endeavors of a large and professional<br />
team. Moreover, the target of the virus<br />
was predetermined. The virus directly targeted<br />
the production system which is a critical<br />
infrastructure element; and after infecting<br />
the system, it did not reveal itself until it<br />
detected the Siemens PLC system and then it<br />
seized the control of the program.<br />
THE CYBER ATTACKS AGAINST SAUDI<br />
ARAMCO AND KHARG<br />
Besides the Operation Stuxnet, the cyber<br />
attacks against Saudi Aramco oil company<br />
which meets 10% of the world oil supply and<br />
by Kharg oil refinery which is considered as<br />
one of the fundamental elements of Iranian<br />
oil economy reveal how fragile is the oil and<br />
natural gas industry against cyber attacks.<br />
The cyber-attack through the “Shamoon”<br />
virus suffered by Aramco, one of the most<br />
important corporations in the world by its oil<br />
production capacity, is being perceived as a<br />
very critical development in terms of its<br />
potential damage in the global economy. It is<br />
stated that the oil production is not affected<br />
