The website of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has been attacked by hackers and blocked for a short period.
According to Turkish news agency Cihan, the attack took place this night and was conducted by a group of hackers from Turkey, Chile and Argentine. The group is known as "Code the Arts" and is headed by a notorious hacker nicknamed as Jeopardy.
The attack comes, Cihan added, as a response to ANCA's efforts for the international recognition of so called Armenian Genocide, as well as for the campaign it launched against US NBA superstar Kobe Brayant for advertizing the Turkish Airlines.
Tert.am reported that the hackers took control of the website for a couple of hours and placed the Turkish flag and comments in support of Bryant on the front page of ANCA's website.
The materials placed by the hackers were removed by the website's administration a few hours following the attack.
