Armenia should think about protecting its sites first rather then
inflict retaliatory strikes, Stepan Aslanyan, director of the
Smart Systems Armenian company told a press conference devoted to
"Information war and massive attacks on Armenian sites by Azeri
hackers" today.

According to him, out of about 500 sites serviced by Smart Systems
60 came under attack. Stepan Aslanyan reminded, that there are no
fully secure sites either in Armenia, or elsewhere, there are cases
of hacking, even the Pentagon’s website.

Stepan Aslanyan also noted, that the time necessary to restore the
hacked sites is also an important indicator. Some sites of Armenian
ministries, hacked on August 7, has not yet been restored. In this
regard, the Mr. Aslanyan noted that bring up an example of how some
hacked government sites were restored after several minutes, while
the site of Pentagon was restored after a few seconds.
