"Digital Denial": Computer Hacking

[Joseph]

It appears that www.theforgotten.org has been hacked by turkish losers...

http://www.theforgotten.org/index.html

The hackers are scumbags no doubt. Unfortunately for them, two things will happen;

a. the site will be back up and running sooner or later, improved, and be better protected.

b. It is a oft-visited site by Armenians and non-Armenians alike, and a very good one at that. People who visit the site in the next few weeks or so will see what the Turkish nationalists and their ilk represent. They fight against us with continued vulgarity and it does not reflect well upon them; with continued acts such as this murder, intimidation, displays of anger, defacing websites, etc they are not increasing the admiration or respect of non-Turks.

I know it sounds a little cliche, but any press regarding the issue (although at times inaccurate regarding details) works in our favor and their position grows increasingly untenable.

I hate the word "alleged" but this is interesting.


Dubai foils hacker attacks on eGovernment websites

(IANS)


Abu Dhabi, March 1 (Xinhua) A series of hacker attacks launched by an extremist group in Turkey on Dubai eGovernment hosted websites have been foiled by web security team within two hours, the Gulf News reported Thursday.

'We believe the hackers belonged to an extremist group in Turkey as they also pasted a message in Turkish apparently referring to the killing of Hrant Dink and approving it,' Said Salem Al Shair, eServices Director of Dubai eGovernment.

Hrant Dink, a 53-year-old Turkish journalist of Armenian descent, was shot dead outside his office on Jan 19 in Istanbul, which stirred a public outcry.

He was well known for writing controversial articles about the alleged Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turks during the World War I and had received a six-month suspended sentence.

Azerbaijani Hysteria
ILLITERATE HACKERS THREATEN "AZG"

"We-Azeris and Turkishs will hack your site soon.I am sure that we shall win your," this is the exact message in foul "English" that was sent today on the official e-mail address of Azg. The message was sent from a hotmail.com address and, as it was found out, from a personal computer located in Baku. "Azg" is pleased to have attracted the attention of those "intellectuals", but still remains uncertain, what precisely roused their irritation.

I know the owner and he said that he's not going to upload the site soon, he's preparing something with ANCA (Armenian National Committee of America) to show what Turks are doing to our websites.

I disagreed with him but he was very convinced that what he is preparing with ANCA is worth delaying the upload of the site.

I guess we should wait and see ...

It's good to know he's not sitting idly by. I can't wait to see what they'll unveil. Thanks for the info. SoSarkissian.

I can't stand to see this. Are there any here with web knowledge? Or any web authority?

See what the animals have done to theforgotten.org

Apparently the owners of the site are in the process of making improvements and supposedly the site is going to come back better than ever.

Well, they should first concentrate on taking down the hacked webpage.

Good point

[Kharpert]

I mean, they own the webspace and domain name, can't they just shut the server off?
