The statement emphasized that the electronic signature (e-signature) used in police services is issued exclusively by the agency, is generated through internal certification, and is valid only within the Electronic Document Management System. It was clearly stated that external e-signatures cannot be used to access the systems.
It was noted that narcotics systems are protected by multi-layered security measures and are closed to external connections, and it was explained that accessing these systems via an e-signature is technically impossible.
FAKE E-SIGNATURE ATTEMPT THWARTED
It was reported that the counterfeit e-signature in question was generated through a dealer in a certain province using fake identification and documents, and that it was revoked after it was determined that different contact information had been used without the staff’s knowledge. Additionally, it was noted that no evidence was found indicating that this counterfeit e-signature had been used to access any system.
It was stated that legal proceedings have been initiated against the individuals involved in the production of the counterfeit e-signature and that judicial investigations are being conducted by the judicial authorities. It was also announced to the public that the police force does not have jurisdiction in this matter.
