The developments in the informatics sector has made reaching the information easier and provided important benefits for humans. However, changing and developing technological opportunities within informatics has led new crime types and made the protection of information harder. As in all fields, current legal regulations about the crimes in informatics are insufficient to struggle against cyber-crimes which change their methods quickly. The prevention of these crimes becomes harder especially when the lack of consciousness and awareness about the protection of personal data merge with the regulations which are not sufficient and deterrent. Despite this, necessary laws which are required to struggle with such kind of crimes at the same rapidness have not been legislated and put into action in our country. In this study, a critical perspective about the current regulations is discussed in terms of the struggle with crimes committed on informatics and the protection of personal data and solution recommendations in terms of legal perspective are developed through questioning their sufficiency.
