It would not be wrong to say that with the development of technology, almost the whole world has started to use digital media. Companies from many industries are enabling people to access their services digitally. Of course, this situation brings many problems as users add their information to these environments. The breach of personal data is perhaps the biggest of these problems.
Now, it has been announced that such a situation is experienced in Martı, the electric scooter sharing system serving in many cities in our country. Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK), in a statement on its official website, noted that there was a data breach in Martı, the scooter service used by citizens in their daily lives.

Martı, which has become increasingly popular, was founded in 2017 by Oğuz Alper Öktem and Sena Öktem. This initiative, which aims to provide electric scooter service to people who are tired of traffic, has managed to spread to many cities across the country since its inception and reached millions of users. The use of electric scooters also made Martı an environmentally friendly transportation option.
