held in the office of the Azerbaijan Security and Defence Public
Association to discuss the security of internet media.
The discussion comes after the recent increase of hacking attacks
which mainly targeted opposition and independent media. "Our mil.az
website regularly faces hacking attacks," said the Association head
Yashar Jafarli.
Osman Gundus, head of the Internet Forum, was more cautious on his
approach to the issue, calling on the attendees not to rush into
blaming internet problems on hackers. "This can be a systematic
problem that emerges due to a weak website that cannot afford high
number of visitors," he said.
Hack attack reports have been received from the online publications of
Yeni Musavat, Azadlig, Khural, and the contact.az websites.
According to Azerbaijan Media Center's Gulnara Akhundova, an
investigation of the problems on the website of Azadlig newspaper
revealed that this resource was indeed hacked.
