Notice (Data Breach)
On January 4, 2026, it was determined that photographs and student ID numbers belonging to some of our students/alumni were shared online unlawfully. According to initial investigations, the incident is related to the old Student Information System, which was decommissioned at the end of 2024, and no new breach has been detected in our active systems.
A criminal complaint has been filed regarding the matter, the necessary applications have been made to block access, and full cooperation has been provided to the judicial authorities.
The protection of personal data and the safety of our students are our University's top priorities.
Respectfully announced to the public.
Respectfully,
