Beware of strangers bearing high-tech gifts
Turkey - As the country is mired in wiretapping claims, a parliamentary committee has warned against giving phones as gifts and also proposed a ban on the sale of communication devices to anyone other than the intended user, as part of preventive measures against such invasions of privacy.
The Parliamentary research committee, which was established to search the wiretapping claims made by senior politicians, judges and newspapers, released its report last week.
"Telephones, keyboards or other electronic devices given by unknown people or organizations should not be accepted as gifts. E-mails or phone messages from unknown sources should not be opened and read," the report read. (more)
