/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A new wave of hacker attacks was recently launched
against Armenian Web sites. While trying to open some of them, users
encounter messages by "Iraqi hackers" – such is the nickname of the
trespassers who left their contacts and a warning.

Hackers have this time targeted the Web sites of RA Agriculture and
Urban Development Ministries. Earlier, they had attacked the sites
of RA Football Federation, Diaspora Ministry and BTA Bank. Some of
the damaged sites were restored to normal operation.

Attacked by hackers Saturday, Iran’s Armenian Diaspora Web site
(www. iranahayer.com) contains a statement saying that hackers did
not manage to completely damage the Web page and deleted only recent
news and comments. Site administration reports it will post the news
again but will not manage to restore deleted comments.

Earlier, Web site was reported to be inaccessible
because of some technical problems which were shortly after eliminated
by specialists. Later, it became known that hackers had managed
to damage the site’s post service, thus gaining access to ministry
staff’s mail correspondence.
