Hackers crash Armenian gov`t websites
A group of Azeri hackers has crashed the websites of the Armenian
Prosecutor-General`s Office, as well as all 18 cabinet ministries,
the Russian online publication, Gazeta.ru, reported.
The cyber-attack took place on August 12. A special coding installed by the hackers redirects those entering the website to another web page containing threatening statements against Armenia and Russia. Moreover, the page has a story supporting Azeri judo wrestler Elnur Mammadli, who has won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, and a pledge to free Azeri territories from Armenian occupation.
Nonetheless, all the information and links from the Armenian Prosecutor-General`s Office website were left intact.
The hackers warned they would continue waging the "cyber-war" until Azerbaijan`s land is liberated.
