Armenia to have an expert group fighting hacker attacks

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is going to have an expert group fighting hacker attacks against Armenian Web sites, Smart System Armenian company's director Stpen Aslanyan told today a news conference devoted to "Information wars and Azeri hackers' mass attacks against Armenian Web sites".



According to him, "Strictly organized" attacks against Armenian Web sites in .am zone were launched simultaneously by several states, with the overwhelming majority of hackers being Azeris. And that created the necessity of setting up an expert group ensuring the security of Armenian Web sites. It's hard to say now whether such mass attacks are funded by Azerbaijani government, Aslanyan said.



Over 70 individuals, including technical specialists and journalists, have expressed willingness to join the group. There are no representatives of state government bodies among them. Additional 10 days are required for finally forming the group, company's director said, adding that they ruled out illegal activities, such as breaking Azerbaijani or any other Web sites.
