Azerbaijan experts doubt of Armenian secret services participation in breaking country's public TV online site

24 January 2007 [01:12] - TODAY.AZ
A statement presented as an announcement of the secret services of Armenia was placed on the online site of the Azerbaijan Public TV last weekend.

The statement contained threat of physical destruction of the Azerbaijan hacker cracking the Armenian sites, saying "it was the last warning," Analitika.az reports. The so-called war of hackers between Armenia and Azerbaijan is not a new phenomenon and has been proceeding for 10 years with variable success and is accompanied by campaigns in the mass media of two countries.

The site of the Azerbaijan public television has not been cracked in the literally sense of this word, Bakililar.Az reports. It is marked that under the term of breaking, use of technical weaknesses in a hosting of a website and/or its software usually is considered. However, in this case, access to the management of the domain was received by a method of breaking of a mailbox on the yahoo.com, where the data on management of the hosting of the Azerbaijan Public TV was stored, ArmInfo says.

Emin Guseinov, information technologies expert, expressed doubts in participation of the Armenian secret services in this attack, first of all because of elementary mistakes in the text of the message, and secondly, as it contained warning of an intention to physically liquidate someone, that secret services usually do not do. A source, close to the secret services, informed the ArmInfo on similar conclusions.

Grigor Saginian, technical director of the largest in Armenia Internet provider, Arminco, considers that it is easy to accuse the Armenian party of hacking while it is much more difficult to provide a sufficient level of safety of a site. "In Azerbaijan there are good experts, and I am surprised to that the site, which is called to broadcast from the US for the whole world, was not provided with a high technological level." Saginian pointed out that Armenia and Azerbaijan had collided with similar situation in 2000, when a large number of sites of both countries was intercepted by hackers.
