I just checked and it seems ok. I suppose they got it back up and running very soon after.

Looks like the hackers work mirrors their own pathetic lives...of no consequence.

I saw it. Had a picture of Ataturk with text on the right. Some of the highlights were "What happened to my grandfather? We spilled blood for this land. We lived in peace for many years. Our next target is the Greeks."

The Turks like to keep things classy.

Swedish hackers target Turkish forum

Swedish hackers have retaliated against their Turkish counterparts following an attack earlier this month on some 5,000 Swedish websites.

On Saturday, a group of disgruntled hackers posted a comment to the Flashback web forum linking to a stolen database containing thousands of user names and passwords from Turkish forum Ayyildiz.

"We have chosen to leak these user details in response to the many recent attacks on Swedish web hosts and websites following the publication of a satirical drawing by Lars Vilks portraying the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog."

The group said that Ayyildiz was a forum used by Turkish hackers to brag about their destructive exploits on the internet.

Having stolen the identities of the Turkish users, Swedish hackers proceeded to post messages on their forum informing them of the successful security breach.

Ayyildiz was temporarily taken out of service as a result of the attack.

The Swedes also broke into the e-mail and MSN accounts of Turkish web users and sent messages using the stolen identities. Among the images in circulation was a pornographic illustration of Muhammad and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the modern Turkish state.

"This type of 'hacktivism' has been on the increase over the last five or six years," IT security expert Joakim von Braun told The Local.

He added that the outbreak of a hacking war could prove devastating for businesses and government institutions,

"Companies in particular stand to lose a lot of money if their websites are attacked and taken down by hackers," said von Braun.

"Digital Denial": Computer Hacking

Ok, the news of Turks and Azeri's (primarily) hacking Genocide sites in a sad attempt to hold on to a sliding denial has gotten too spread out. I'm going to combine all the current threads into this one and expect that future posts related to this topic go in this thread. Thank you.

Assyrian International News Agency
Swedish Based Assyrian News Site Hacked By Turks
Posted GMT 3-19-2008 12:37:23
(AINA) -- The website of the Eastern Star News Agency (ESNA), based in Sweden, was hacked by Turks, according to a press release by ESNA. The hack appears to be in retaliation for the publication of an article by Rosie Malek-Yonan titled Genocide: Turkey's Dark 'Secret' Resonating The Airwaves, which discusses the Turkish Genocide of Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks in World War One.

Last January the website for The Crimson Field, a historical novel by Rosie Malek-Yonan about the Turkish genocide of Assyrians in World War One, in which 750,000 Assyrians (75%) were killed, was hacked by a Turk, who left a message saying "Turk Defacer."

Assyrian websites have been the target of Turkish hackers. The Assyrian Academic Society website was hacked on October 30, 2007 (AINA 10-30-2007); the "International Campaign to Support the Christians of Iraq" website was hacked last November (AINA 11-20-2007).

Turks want to revise wikipedia with their pan-turkish, fascist bile. Does this mean we can now revise their pages with the truth about Genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks? Can we also present the truth about the OE, Ataturk, pan-turkism, etc?


Asimed Urges Wikipedia To Remove "semi-protection" Over Article On Armenian Allegations

Published: 3/30/2008




ERZURUM - The Turkish Association for Fight Against Unfounded Genocide Allegations (ASIMED) launched an e-mail campaign against Wikipedia urging it to remove the "Semi-Protection" lock over the article on Armenian allegations concerning the incidents of 1915.

Chairman of Asimed, Assistant Professor Savas Egilmez, said the best thing about Wikipedia was its feature allowing users to edit (make corrections, deletions and additions) in articles published on the website.

"When you browse the English version of Wikipedia which publishes its content in various languages, one notices an issue in complete contrast with the Wikipedia principles. In the english website while the article on Armenian allegations concerning the incidents of 1915 contain all the thesis of the Armenian diaspora, the Turkish thesis are excluded," said Egilmez.

"The web site allows users to make editions in all subjects, but it does not allow edition of the article on Armenian allegations. The site only provides the theses of the Armenian diaspora. This is a great injustice against the Turkish Nation."

Egilmez said they started an e-mail campaign to stop this injustice and asked Turkish nationals to support it by sending e-mails to the web site's administrators ([email protected]) .

Wikipedia has a "Protection policy" allowing administrators to protect a page to restrict editing or moving of that page, and remove such protection.

"Editing or moving of a page can be restricted by administrators. As Wikipedia is built around the principle that anyone can edit it, this should only be done in certain situations," says the policy.

Under the policy there are four types of protection.

-Full protection,

-Semi-protection ,

-Creation protection,

-Move protection.

Though the policy says "Semi-protection in particular, should not be used to settle content disputes" currently there is a "Semi-protection" lock over the article on Armenian theses concerning the incidents of 1915.
