YEREVAN -Azeri hackers organized a series of attacks on Armenian
state, as well as more than 100 personal Web sites operating under
the .am domain beginning last Friday, director of "Smart Systems"
company Stepan Aslanyan told reporters Thursday.
Aslanyan explained that the attack was targeted at .am URLs and not
Armenian sites with a .com or .ru suffixes.
Aslanyan added that for ensuring security of Armenian Web sites a group
has been set up with a goal of developing mechanisms to effectively
ward off hackers.
He said 72 people with backgrounds in the technology, media and other
specialists have already been recruited for this effort. The group
is planning to work out a list which will register standards a Web
site must meet to ensure certain degree of protection.
Aslanyan described what happened as an issue of Armenian national
security, which unequivocally has political connotations. He noted
that many of the Azeri hackers are acting openly, placing the Armenian
sites they have hacked on to their own sites.
The director of "Smart Systems" said that hackers placed an Azeri
flag on the hacked Web sites.
For ensuring security of Armenian web sites Aslanyan underscored
the importance of continual maintenance of servers and upgrading of
security mechanisms.
Currently "Smart Systems" company serves 500 web sites 60 of which
have been attacked.
