The nefarious component of the attack is that the Turkish government surveils all Internet traffic within its borders and thought that the website may have helped some of its opponents commit what it believes to be treason. Its surveillance data tells it all the sites your phone looks up, and it accused people whose phones looked up that domain as being guilty of treason.
In Bylock's case, it was most likely a tracking pixel embedded in advertisements for Bylock that the other apps were displaying. The pixel helped Bylock track how many people were viewing their ads.
