/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "After several Armenian governmental web sites
had been attacked by Turkish and Azeri hackers in August 2009, the
Information and Public Relations Center of the Armenia’s President
administration and experts of Helix Consulting conducted 99 state
sites to identify their weaknesses," Aram Mkhitaryan , Director of
Helix Consulting told a press conference in Yerevan today.

According Aram Mkhitaryan, the results of the survey have been passed
to relevant authorities and for the moment all identified deficiencies
are corrected.

According to Mr. Mkhitaryan, it is impossible to inflict the final
defeat to the enemy in the information war, since it is a long process.

Speaking about the possibility of further hacker attacks on government
websites of Armenia, Director of Helix Consulting noted that they
might happen in December this year – "since during holidays there is
no one to monitor the sites. " He also added that the bulk of these
hacker attacks on government sites of Armenia have not an organized
character. "But this does not mean we should exclude the possibility
of the latter," Aram Mkhitaryan said.
