ARMENIAN WEBSITES IN THE HANDS OF AZERBAIJANI HACKERS
As the recent web events suggest, Azeris are slow to put up with Andre’s coming performance at the Eurovision and his possible success. They are also slow to put up with our achievement in the war that they themselves levied on us. To express their resentment they turn to the Internet but, alas, using it to deceit others.
It transpired yesterday that several Armenian websites are in the hands of Azeri hackers. Singer Andre’s website (www.andre.am) www.yandex.am/forum, www.itarmenia.com, www.myyerevan.am, www.telecenters.am, www.myyerevan.am, www.armfootball.am and a number of other Armenian sites were attacked by Azeri hackers who, having broken security, erased all information replacing it with information, pictures and links on alleged Khojaly massacre.
www.andre.am website is hosted at Dolphin Company’s server in the USA. Talking to Daily Azg the company’s network administrator Khachatur Meliksetian said that they immediately closed access to the site when the website designer turned to them in the morning. Dolphin’s American chiefs have already confirmed that Azerbaijani hackers are behind these crimes.
In such cases when the server is located in a foreign country a state has to apply to the Interpol. But to have grounds for this, the police should have a complaint from the injured party.
Reportedly the Azerbaijani criminals attacked the website of Alfael Production Center (www.alfael.am) too. Alfael representative Vardges Kirakosian informed something like this happened 2-3 weeks ago. Azeris hacked the Center’s website notifying that its their work.
If years ago Turks and Azeris used the Internet merely to disseminate offenses, then today their anti-Armenian propaganda gets more well-weighed and politicized. For someone unaware of history information posted at Azeri website can seem convincing and truthful. One can only dread of the effect that these websites with ensanguined posters and lively graphic design can produce in uninformed people.
Should we fight back deceit with deceit by hacking Azeri and Turkish websites or should we hope that they will some day become mature enough for a fair game?
