“Hacker attacks on Armenian Web sites that took place earlier last week were not organized by Azerbaijani or Turkish hackers,” expert on information security Samvel Martirosyan said at a news conference.
“The sensation is due to the fact that the Web site of the Armenian government was hacked. Maybe, I am mistaken, but I think Web site was hacked by hacker groups who are simply trying to test their power or want to have the governmental Web site in their collection of hacked Web sites,” Martirosyan said.
He attributed his confidence to the fact that while the hackers had an access to hack Armenian government“s Web site, they did not make any “significant changes” which is not a thing that Azerbaijan would do.
He said such attacks on Web sites will occur consistently and become frequent.
Technical director of Arminco provider Grigor Sagiyan found it difficult to answer which group hacked Armenian Web sites. He also noted that information technology is constantly being improved and methods of protection are developing alongside with the methods of attack.
“Fortunately, we prevented a massive attack in time. The main actions were aimed to destroy passwords. Today, modern technology makes use of special dictionaries and change names with their help,” Sagiyan said.
