Armenian sites were intact on April 24, May 9 - expert
14:16 - 13.05.13
The April 24 Genocide commemoration day or the May 9 Victory
anniversary did see any Armenian website come under hacker attacks, an
information security expert has said.
`Strange though it is, it was just vice versa this year. Armenian
websites were not subjected to hacker attacks, the situation being
calmer than on other days,' Samvel Martirosyan told a news conference
on Monday.
Instead, the expert said, about 10 Armenian websites were hacked on
May 8, a day before the victory anniversary celebrations. He said
further that the Armenian cyber bank broke several demonstrative
websites on April 24. `Letters were published on May 10. Those were
the letter of those journalists who worked against the Armenians.
Those letters were very significant in terms of content, and it is
important that they be studied by specialists or journalists,' he
said, adding that all the information is available at Vc.ananun.am.
Martirosyan said that the websites devoted to the Genocide topic are
well protected today. `It is really surprising but in this sector, it
is always necessary to wait for worse steps by them,' he added.
The expert noted that the protection of personal data is not properly
guaranteed in Armenia at present. `Our data, available on the CEC
website, are our personal data. I find that it is better to publish
voter registers instead of posting our data. Women, for example, do
not mention their age in Facebook, whereas the CEC website makes all
that information public,' he added.
