YEREVAN, DECEMBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN. RA and NKR citizens and organizations
using Internet, in particular, E-mail, receive different kinds of
electronic letters lately, which often remind of offers of simple
and ordinary contacts or "espionage message." Many people read them
and continue carelessly using electronic mail’s services and do not
suppose that their unknown addressee without permission receives
information being in their system.
According to the report of the RA National Security Service, various
kinds of computer viruses can penetrate into a computer through
these "unexpected" letters, for instance, the concealed espionage
virus-program named Perfect Key Logger. Therefore, when opening a text
file, a concealed program is automatically placed in the computer,
which by the Internet network, with certain frequency readdresses
all kinds of codes of the computer, as well as the whole information
of monitor’s display to the address of the respective E-mail, as a
result of which the subject becomes an open source of information.
The report mentioned that the E-mail addresses where the
whole information goes were disclosed as a result of the events
carried out by the RA National Security Service, [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected] and others. According
to the National Security Service, the analysis of materials received
gives a ground to suppose that the above mentioned actions are carried
out by special foreign services and these traces lead to Azerbaijan.
Therefore, the RA National Security Service considers its duty to warn
persons using Internet, E-mail to be more careful, to observe the rules
of using anti-virus programs, which will exclude the possibility of
using subjects using E-mail as source of information.
