Summary/Abstract: The increase in the internet services provided by government brings the risks of cyber attacks. Today, the cyber attacks to the web sites of the government institutions have increased rapidly. In this study, 848 cyber attack records in Zone-H web site have been examined to evaluate the cyber attacks (integrity violations) to Turkish government web sites with ".gov.tr" extensions. The attacks, which were performed, have been analyzed through five different perspectives as attack information by months, information of homepage attacks, information about past attacks, information about servers and information about attackers. According to fake names, messages, and sharing of pictures and videos in Zone-H records, it has been made clear that the cyber attacks have been performed by 131 different hackers or hacker groups from 25 different countries. In addition to this, it has also been seen that 70% of attacks are of Turkey origin and 35% of web sites, which were attacked, had been attacked previously.
